But before we dive into the nitty-gritty details, let's take a step back and explore the rich history and culture that underpins our great city.

Melbourne, as it is commonly known, is situated on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation, comprising five distinct peoples: the Boonwurrung, Wathaurong, and Wurundjeri. For over 40,000 years, Aboriginal Victorians have called this land home, using the area as an important meeting place for local clans. Today, Melbourne is a thriving metropolis with a population of over five million people, making it approximately 19% of Australia's total population.

Geographically, Melbourne occupies much of the northern and eastern coastlines of Port Phillip Bay, stretching into the Mornington Peninsula, West Gippsland, and the surrounding hills. The city's metropolitan area, known as Greater Melbourne, comprises 31 local municipalities, with the City of Melbourne serving as its central hub.

As the capital of Victoria and the second-most populous city in Australia, Melbourne is a cultural melting pot, boasting a rich tapestry of art, music, food, and architecture. From its iconic tramcars to its world-class museums and galleries, there's no shortage of things to see, do, and experience in this vibrant city.
