Melbourne prides itself on being a great
city. It’s hardly surprising, with its
spectacular combination of old and new
architecture, elegant streetscapes, ethnic
communities and lavish parks and
gardens. Add Australia’s best eating, an
excellent transit system - a ride on the
free tram around town is a must - and a
packed calendar boasting sporting
spectacular and exuberant events, and
you have all the ingredients for one of
the most liveable cities in the world.
Some of the major sporting events include the Australian Football League grand final, cricket’s fabled Boxing Day Test match, the Melbourne Cup the Australian Formula One Grand Prix and the Australian Tennis Open. Melbourne is also Australia’s cultural capital with its own Symphony Orchestra and a wide range of theatres, art galleries and museums. Just down the road is Werribee with many historic and natural attractions.
