 Melbourne Did You Mean melbourne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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 is often referred to as Australia's second city given its secondary ranking to Sydney in terms of population.

 Kennedy, Graham
He was the king of comedy, the recognised successor to Australia's previous comic king and lord of misrule, Roy Rene (Mo), whose stage had been vaudeville and radio from the 1920s to the late 1940s.
In Melbourne Tonight included musical acts, game segments, burlesques of ads, and sketches, including "The Wilsons." In this segment, perhaps reminiscent of The Honeymooners skit on early 1950s American television, Graham played a dirty old man, married to his Joyce, carnivalising marriage as comic disaster.
Kennedy belongs not only to cultural history in Australia; his quickness of wit in verbal play, double-entendre, sexual suggestion, inverted meanings, and festive abuse joins him to a long line of great comedians thrown up by popular culture across the world.

In a period of widespread home music and the growing popularity of the piano, there was no shortage of enthusiastic composers though few managed to stay the distance.
It proved to be an over-optimistic estimate, and not until the issue of 21 October was the newspaper able to print a letter from its Melbourne agent, Mr George Musgrave.
This final achievement alone probably makes him unique in New Zealand's history and when, on his retirement in 1932 at the age of 83, his services were recognised by creating him a 'freeman of the county', this was the first time that anyone in the British Dominion had been given such an honour.
