Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria, and sits adjacent to the natural beauty of Port Phillips Bay on the south coast of Australia. For an indication of size, the state of Victoria is approximately the same size as the United Kingdom, but there is certainly much more room here.

image of Melbourne The main water feature of Melbourne is actually the Yarra River, as seen in the picture (left), upon the banks of which the city was born. Today it is the setting for many delightful walks and cycle paths along with water sport activities such as kayaking, water-skiing and rowing.

As the state capital Melbourne offers all that is expected of it – a great sense of style, a cosmopolitan air and some of the best examples of art and culture to be found in the country. It is also home to an abundance of open park areas and outstanding gardens. The city is often referred to as Australia’s Garden City, and it is clear to see why.
