Melbourne, one of the ‘world’s most liveable cities’, is located in the southeast corner of the Australian state of Victoria. It is generally regarded as a more sophisticated counterpart to Sydney.
Melbourne is located at the apex of one of the world’s largest natural bays, Port Philip Bay, and enjoys a variety of weather conditions throughout the year. There are four distinct seasons free of extremes and the weather is notoriously changeable; it is said that one can sometimes experience all four seasons in the course of one day!
Melbourne is Australia’s second-most populous city, with 3.7 million residents. It was originally founded in 1835 as a pastoral settlement but has transformed into a booming, vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis. It is widely renowned for its patronage of the arts and its unique culture.
