Melbourne Directory
The city of Melbourne is the capital of Victoria with locals known as Melburnians. Football, fashion, music, ballet and restaurants are almost a religion in Melbourne with many Melburnians not afraid to let you know.
'Melbourne’s love of music and theatre make this city a must visit and you will see why it is one of the worlds most livable city.'
Melbourne offers a party atmosphere all year round. In the month of March Melbourne comes alive with the Grand Prix. The event brings thousands of visitors from around Australia and the world for a four-day celebration of cars and formula one racing but also provides enough to keep everyone entertained.
If that’s not enough, consider the Melbourne Cup. It’s a horse racing carnival that’s celebrated each year in November. The main race brings Australia to a literal standstill and is watched by over 700 million people worldwide. Down at Flemington Race Course, where the race is run, a fashion frenzy ensues. Party-goers frock and suit up into their finest and take part in a little healthy hedonism.
