Introduction:

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and the state's largest city with a population of around 3.7 million.

Melbourne is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, famous for its elegant architecture, great food, magnificant gardens and world-class sporting events. Situated on the Yarra River at Port Phillip Bay, the city boasts wide tree-lined boulevards, inviting sandy beaches and lush bush and mountain ranges in the outer eastern suburbs. Melbourne is the only Australian city to have retained its extensive network of electric trams which provides public transport to regions up to 20 kilometres from the city centre.

Melbourne's location near the geographical centre of Victoria ensures that any location within the state is just a few hours drive from the city, thus making it the ideal base for exploring all that Victoria has to offer.
