Melbourne is not only the capital of Victoria, but as well the most beautiful city in Australia in which I have lived so far. It offers an enourmous choice of cultural events, nightlife, restaurants and a very special countryside surrounding it. Due to the location on the bay the climate is very moderate.
Favourite spots:
the suburbs Carlton, Fitzroy + St. Kilda, the Yarra Valley, Wilsons Prom and the Victorian Alps
What's really great:
the pace of life, the tolerant and friendly attitude of the Melbournians, the live music venues across the city, the native fauna and flora
