    Location and orientation

    The City of Melbourne

    Off to Down Under! The Australian city of Melbourne is definitely worth a visit. Situated in the very south of the coast, the capital of the state of Victoria is home to 4.25 million people. Situated directly on the Yarra River and Port Philipp Bay, the city, consisting of 217 (!) districts, is literally a metropolis.

    City of Records

    Its location and size alone make Melbourne definitely something special. It is the second largest city in Australia after Sydney. It is also the world's southernmost city with over a million inhabitants. So you don't just have to take the long way because of the kangaroos and rent one of the beautiful Fewos Melbournes.
