Melbourne my beautiful |

Melbourne is a 3.5 million city, capital of Victoria in the south of Australia. It features a modern city centre and apart from that, no skyscrapers but an endless sea of little victorian houses. Through the city runs the Yarra river, which combined with the many parks and gardens, cafes and restaurant, and relaxed people gives the city a laid-back feel.
