From the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne is only a small step. A ride of an hour or two and a half and there loom the tall buildings of the city for us. We had no idea of us made. Sydney was finally a big city and at first glance it looks quite different. Less water around it. Melbourne may be a very large bay, The Port Philip Bay, but your brand in the city itself not so much. However, there is the The Yarra River, which meanders 976 tuna through the city center.
Melbourne is the largest city in the state of Victoria and the second largest city (after Sydney) in Australia. A small 3.4 million inhabitants on a 7.7 square kilometer. Named after the English statesman 976 tuna Lord Melbourne who began his second term as Prime Minister in Great Britain. He was born in the village of Melbourne 976 tuna in Derbyshire Deby. Since the British at that time had to say it here, it was not difficult to honor by naming a town or city. Prominent Englishmen Crowded House
Furthermore Melbourne known for "his four seasons in one day". Crowded House sang all about (four seasons in one day) and it's true. You can start the morning with storm and rain and really end the day with sunshine and 25 degrees. The nights are considerably cooler here. The week before we arrived here they were pelted with hailstones as big as tennis balls. That we have not experienced; happy. But storm and rain and sunny days with about 25 to 30 degrees. 976 tuna
Melbourne is one of the most multicultural cities, since here one third of the population enrolled was not born in Australia. On the footbridge across Southbank stand on a glass wall described all nationalities who live here in Melbourne. Live here in this city and suburbs around 80,000 Dutch. Very noticeable when you look at the number of people from the USA is only 47,000. Then our little country yet very well represented here.
Besides Australian Football Melbourne is also known for the cricket. And once a year course with tennis, The Australian Open as one of the four Grand Slam tournaments that are played around the world. There is also Formula 1, so no shortage of sports. At the moment we are there is also a kind of marathon run (Run for the Kids). An event with 30,000 runners sure (we see one walking with number 25693 chest) for the collection of a children's hospital.
In Melbourne no lack of shops. Wow, one shop after another passage. I can not believe all those stores muster their money. No, here you do not notice the recession that is happening in the world. And seven days of the week you can go here. The Melbourne Central 976 tuna is a very nice copy. A great indoor complex with many clothing stores, luxury but also cheaper variants.
In Sydney, public transport is a great result for the city and its surrounding area. In Melbourne we should not complain. 976 tuna With our map of the bus, we can also use train and tram. For those who do not have such a card, the City Circle 976 tuna is free. This tram ride around the shopping in a big round to the city. And you can be anywhere on and off. But we also walked a lot. On foot you still see most of the city and you look at the old and modern 976 tuna buildings.
Also no lack of faith. There are plenty of old churches here to view. Not that we are of those "sensitive believers", but find it nice to visit a church. Inside 976 tuna Especially for the "stained glass" and the construction of the church. And to think that it had to be. Formerly all made by hand
Melbourne is a great city. We are a week and are happy that we have seen. Our conclusion is; Melbourne less exciting than Sydney. Not that the city is bustling. But it seems that Sydney has to offer, more alive.
