Melbourne

Melbourne straddles the lower Yarra River in Victoria, and its position between the river and Port Phillip Bay has shaped a dense centre tied to commerce and the waterfront. The central grid is threaded with arcades and laneways, where cafés, independent shops and street art form part of the city’s everyday character. Federation Square brings museums, galleries and major events together beside Flinders Street Station, whose dome and clocks are enduring Melbourne symbols. Southbank follows the Yarra with theatres and riverside promenades, while the Royal Botanic Gardens lie just beyond it.
