Melbourne is the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria.

In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and indigenous art.

History

The area around which the city of Melbourne now stands, was the home of the Kulin people, whose ancestors had lived in the area for an estimated 31,000 to 40,000 years
The city was founded on 30 August 1835, in the then-British colony of New South Wales, by free settlers from the colony of Van Diemen’s Land
In July 1851 the successful agitation of the Port Phillip settlers led to the establishment of Victoria as a separate colony, and La Trobe became its first Lieutenant-Governor
The discovery of gold led to a huge influx of people to Victoria, most of them arriving by sea at Melbourne during 1850s

How to reach there

Air

The Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) is a modern, well maintained international airport and is well connected to all major cities of the world and many domestic destinations in Australia as well

Road

Getting to Melbourne via road provides many scenic routes. From Sydney, the Princess Highway takes you along the coast to Melbourne. The Hume highway, though, is shorter and faster. Melbourne is even closer to Adelaide, and also has a coastal route which is slower.

Train

Train services into Melbourne from regional areas run daily. Routes to all major cities of the country, such as Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane are also well covered, running a couple of times in a week. Trips to Sydney are made daily as well.
