Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, is a cosmopolitan, elegant city of fine buildings famous for its trams, wonderful parks and numerous restaurants. Melbourne was settled by sea traders in Victorian times and many beautiful buildings from that era remain.  The city is on Port Phillip Bay, on the Yarra River, and in recent years the old dockland areas on the Yarra have been redeveloped to form a sophisticated and vibrant south bank area that includes Melbourne's exhibition centre, casino and some smart shops, cafes and restaurants.  The sporting hub of Australia, Melbourne is the home of Aussie Rules.  It has the Melbourne Cricket Ground and hosts annually the Melbourne Grand Prix and the Australian Tennis Open.  Nearby are the beautiful Dandenong Ranges and the pastoral and wine growing Yarra Valley region.   Another gem to visit is the old goldrush town of Walhalla with its delightful Star Hotel.
