Melbourne is perhaps the liveliest city in Australia with some of the
best shopping, nightlife and contemporary design.The wide Yarra River
flows through the city, passing parks and gardens, as it winds its way
to Port Philip Bay where you can catch a boat for trips across the Bass
Strait. The city itself is made up precincts, each with its own
distinct flavour and charm. Wherever you go you are sure to find a
restaurant; there are more than 3,000 representing some 75 different
ethnic cuisines! The city’s passion for food is matched by its passion
for sports. It’s the home of the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the
world famous Melbourne Cup horse race, the Melbourne Cricket Club and
the Australian Open Tennis.
