This coastal capital of Victoria is a vibrant city with plenty to do and see. It is the second most populated city in Australia. It was founded in 1835. It is home to many popular and widely known cultural attractions.
The climate is oceanic meaning that it is warm to hot in the summers, than cool to cold in the winters always with an ocean breeze blowing.
Its southern most suburbs sit on a fault! Some have wondered how Melbourne stays upright but there is no question that the region is geographically sound, just different from other regions.
The area has been inhabited for about 40,000 years. Early evidence of indigenous people have been found that indicates this coastal city has always enjoyed a robust population. It was an important trading area.
Melbourne started as a penal colony. Basically when British citizens misbehaved they were sent to Melbourne to be punished, however many of the “inmates” found that they loved the freedom of the colony and instead of feeling punished, actually thrived. Melbournians are very proud of their penal colony history and of their rebellious nature.
Nothing did more for expanding the population than the gold rush. Adventurers from around the globe flocked to the region to get their piece of the pie. The population grew rapidly during this period, and then saw another huge growth spike immediately following WWII.
Today Melbourne is a bustling city that has a great economy, beautiful modern buildings, wonderful nightlife and great dining opportunities. It is an eclectic culture of people from around the world that have settled there.
The population continues to grow and with it new construction, new job opportunities, new attractions and it becomes a more relevant metropolis then ever. There is something for everyone in Melbourne.
There are plenty of historic sites to visit, outdoor flea markets where you can shop for great deals and of course a tremendous cultural scene including theaters, museums and galleries.
The winery tours are a great way to spend a day, or visit the Eureka Skydeck to get a birds eye view of the city. Whatever you enjoy doing, Melbourne is a great place to do it.
There are plenty of free tours to participate in, in this city. Walking tours are a great way to get out and really experience Melbourne. Of course, while our webcam will not put you on the ground to walk around, you will get a clear shot of the city and be able to relax at home.
