Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia, the capital of the southern state of Victoria. You can see where it is on this map. Few countries in the world are larger than Australia, yet we have a population of only 21.5 million. Almost a quarter of all Australians live in Victoria; 3.8 million in Melbourne.
Melbourne is a multicultural city. People from more than 200 countries live here and while 230 languages are spoken, most people speak English.
It’s a great place to live and study.
