Victoria
Melbourne is the second most populous city in Australia, with a metropolitan area population of nearly four million . Located in the country's south-east, Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria and is home to over 70% of all Victorians.
Today, Melbourne is a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural activity. Often referred to as both the "cultural capital of Australia" and the "sporting capital of Australia", it is home to many of Australia's major annual sporting and cultural events, and was the host of the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Melbourne is renowned for its Victorian architecture including the World Heritage Royal Exhibition Building as well as its notable landmarks which include the iconic Flinders Street Station, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the extensive tram network . Melbourne has been voted the World's Most Liveable City on a number of occasions.
Melbourne's climate is notable for its changeable weather conditions. This is due in part to the city's flat topography, its situation on Port Phillip Bay, and the presence of the Dandenongs to the east, a combination that creates weather systems that often circle the bay. The phrase "four seasons in one day" is part of popular culture and observed by many visitors to the city.
Melbourne is a large commercial and industrial centre. It is home to three of Australia's largest corporations: Telstra, BHP Billiton and the National Australia Bank, and also to the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Council of Trade Unions and many of the companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Melbourne is home to Australia's largest seaport and much of Australia's automotive industry, which include Ford and Toyota manufacturing facilities, and the engine manufacturing facility of Holden.
Melbourne property cycle is on the move again and a number of estates are poised to take advantage of this, As an investor you will be "getting in at the bottom".
