	Port Melbourne, Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Port Melbourne is also home to one end of the West Gate Bridge, the main gateway between east and west Melbourne over the Yarra River.
		Houses in Port Melbourne range from colonial single-fronted wooden worker's cottages to new apartments and housing developments, and Port Melbourne has undergone a major demographic shift in the past twenty years, from one of the cheapest and poorest suburbs in the city to one of the most expensive and wealthiest.
		Port Melbourne now blends significant amounts of wealthy people with those who live in the numerous Public housing developements, and other 'old port' locals; large numbers of immigrants who arrived at Station Pier and settled, primarily those of Greek background, and new immigrants from Africa and Asia.

	Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of 3.8 million in the Melbourne metropolitan area (June 2004) and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area).
		Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Montreal, Osaka, and Prague.
		Melbourne continued to expand steadily throughout the first half of the 20th century, particularly with the post-World War II influx of immigrants and the prestige of hosting the Olympic Games in 1956.
