Melbourne
is the second most populous city in Australia,
with a metropolitan area population of approximately
3.81 million (2007 estimate).
Located
around Port Phillip Bay in Australia's south-east,
Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria. A
person from Melbourne is called a Melburnian.
Melbourne
a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural
activity. The city is often referred to as Australia's
'sporting and cultural capital' and it is home
to many of the nation's most significant cultural
and sporting events and institutions. It has been
recognised as a gamma world city by the Loughborough
University group's 1999 inventory. Melbourne is
notable for its mix of Victorian and contemporary
architecture, its extensive tram network and Victorian
parks and gardens, as well as its diverse, multicultural
society. It was the host city of the 1956 Summer
Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Melbourne
was founded by free settlers in 1835, 47 years
after the first European settlement of Australia,
as a pastoral settlement situated around the Yarra
River. Transformed rapidly into a major metropolis
by the Victorian gold rush in the 1850s, 'Marvellous
Melbourne' became Australia's largest and most
important city by 1865, but was overtaken by Sydney
as the largest city in Australia during the early
20th century.
Melbourne
served as the federal seat of government from
the time of the new nation's federation in 1901,
until Federal Parliament moved to the purpose-built
capital, Canberra, in 1927. (Credit:
