Melbourne  

It is Australia’s second largest city. Melbourne is a multinational city located on the banks of the Yarra River where it meets Port Philip Bay and is home to people from over 140 nations. The Yarra River meanders its way through the city of Melbourne past glass high-rises and proud old houses, wide tree-lined boulevards and pretty green parks.

Melbourne has pleasant weather all the year round and there are no extremes in temperature. But visitors must be prepared for sudden changes in the whether, the sun can be shining brightly one balmy summer day and you can wake up to a sudden chill in the air the next day.
