About Melbourne Australia Cosmopolitan Melbourne is the second-largest city in Australia and the capital of the state of Victoria. With a population of more than 3.6 million people, Melbourne enjoys a diverse mix of cultures. Melburnians are made up of descendants from the original English settlers and more recent arrivals from Asia, Italy, Greece, and other southern European countries. Over a third of Melbournes residents are either foreign-born or the children of parents born overseas and the city has more citizens of Greek descent than any city outside of Athens. Melbourne portrays a sophisticated atmosphere and Melburnians are passionate about football, ballet, theatre, art, music fashion, and eating out at restaurants. Tourists come to Melbourne shopping, restaurants, nightclubs and spectator sports. The Melbourne Zoo is the oldest zoo in the world with over 3,000 animals including koalas, kangaroos, and wallabies. The Royal Botanic Gardens in south Melbourne cover over 40 hectares of lush parkland with pools, ponds and wildlife. The Rialto Towers Observation Deck at 252 meters above ground level provides wonderful views of Melbourne and the surrounding countryside. The historic Queen Victoria Markets, with nearly 1000 stalls, are located near the Melbourne City Centre and are a favourite shopping area for locals and tourists alike. The Australian Grand Prix for Formula 1 cars is held each year at the purpose-built 5.3 km track at Albert Park, conveniently located about 3 km south of Melbournes city centre.
