Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital city of the Australian state of Victoria and the country's second-largest urban centre by population. Located on the south-eastern coast of Australia at the head of Port Phillip Bay, the city serves as a major economic, cultural and educational hub for the Asia-Pacific region. Melbourne's population exceeds five-million people, making it one of the most populous cities in Oceania. The city's economy is highly diversified, with dominant sectors including finance, manufacturing, research, information technology, education and tourism. Melbourne is home to the Port of Melbourne, Australia's largest container and general cargo port, which handles a substantial share of the nation's international trade. The city hosts the headquarters of numerous Australian and multinational corporations and is recognised as a leading centre for higher education, with several world-ranked universities. Melbourne's infrastructure includes an extensive public transport network, a major international airport and significant sporting and cultural facilities. The city was founded in 1835 during the European colonisation of Australia and experienced rapid growth following the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, establishing itself as one of the wealthiest cities in the world during the late nineteenth century.
