About Melbourne

Melbourne is the “cultural capital of Australia” and capital city of Victoria, a State of Australia.  It is the most populous city in Victoria, and the second most populous city in Australia.  It is thought that in the next decade it will become larger than Sydney.

Melbourne is located on Port Phillip Bay, on the estuary of the Yarra River. The metropolis has a population of 4.25 million. Inhabitants of Melbourne are called Melburnians.

Melbourne has been ranked as the world’s most liveable city by the Economist Group’s Intelligence Unit in 2011 and 2012.  It has also been ranked in the top ten Global University Cities by RMIT’s Global University Cities Index (since 2006) and the top 20 Global Innovation Cities by the 2thinknow Global Innovation Agency (since 2007).

Melbourne boasts a range of “cultural firsts” including Australian Film, Australian television, Australian Rules Football, the Heidelberg School of Impressionist Art, and is a major centre for contemporary and traditional Australian Music.

There are a host of cultural and sporting centres in the city, which can be readily accessed by Melbourne’s extensive tram network (the largest tram network in the world), as well as buses, trains and private vehicles.

Melbourne provides ready access to beaches, expansive country scenery, the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, or the snowfields in the north.

There’s something for everyone in Melbourne!

Melbourne’s Weather

Victoria’s climate is marked by a range of different climate zones, from the hot, dry regions of the northwest to the alpine snowfields in the northeast. Average annual rainfall ranges from less than 250 millimetres in parts to in excess of 1800 millimetres over some of the mountainous regions.

Melbourne itself, has a moderate oceanic climate, and a reputation for changeable weather, due to its location on the boundary of very hot inland areas and the cold southern ocean. The temperature differential is most pronounced in spring and summer, causing very strong cold fronts to form, which can produce gale, severe thunderstorms and hail and large temperature drops with heavy rainfall.  But, generally, the city enjoys a temperate climate with warm to hot summers; mild, balmy springs and autumns; and cool winters. Temperatures average 25°C in summer and 14°C in winter. Rainfall is highest from May to October.
