Melbourne is Australia’s garden city, with nature never far away. You’ll invariably find a beautifully-tended park or sports ground a short walk from your home or workplace.

Melbourne has an extensive network of bike trails spanning the city, bay and suburbs. Victoria’s unique and varied regional destinations include sweeping coastlines, pristine beaches, national parks, and lakes and mountains. Skiing, fishing, surfing, rock climbing, hiking and wineries are accessible as day trips. Melbourne has five wine districts within an hour’s drive.
Children Melbourne is a great place to raise a family. There are excellent government and private schools, offering a vast array of choice. Three zoos, an aquarium, plus urban icons such as the Collingwood Children’s Farm and the Ian Potter Children’s Garden are greatplaces to get kids close to nature and animals.
You can find a taste of home everywhere you look. Vietnamese in Richmond and Footscray, Italian in Lygon Street Carlton, Middle Eastern food in Brunswick, Chinatown in the Melbourne central business district, the Greek precinct in Lonsdale Street, and Eastern European delis and eateries in the south-eastern suburbs. Open-air markets such as Victoria Market in the Melbourne central business district, and Footscray, Prahran and Preston are great places to visit to stock up on fresh and delicatessen foods, and simply to soak up the atmosphere and sample some of Melbourne’s excellent coffee.
