Melbourne
By Luan Tian.
Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and its metropolitan area sprawls the coastline of Port Phillip Bay and extends inland. Located in southeast Australia, Melbourne enjoys temperate oceanic climate. Its geographic location has been home to the Kulin nation of indigenous Australians since 40,000 years prior to European settlement. Today, it is an important business hub in the southern hemisphere, as well as home to many Australian landmarks, sporting events, and cultural sites.
