Melbourne information
Melbourne is one of the largest and most popular cities in Australia. The capital of Victoria State, it’s a modern city that attracts many visitors, thanks to its mixture of commerce, history, culture and lifestyle.
Situated on the shores of Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne first came into being when the first white colonists set up a trading post there in 1835. The Gold Rush of the 1850s saw Melbourne make its mark on the map as an international city. Thanks to the wealth created from it and the construction boom that followed, Melbourne expanded. It became prosperous, gained much of its renowned architecture and was labelled by visitors as ‘the jewel of the Southern Hemisphere’. Melbourne became the capital of Australia in 1901 and remained so until 1927.
