Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Melbourne is the state capital and largest city in the Australian state of Victoria, and the second-largest city in Australia, with a population of approximately 3.7 million (2006 estimate). Melbourne's overwhelming dominance of the state of Victoria's population and economy means the Victorian state government is also effectively the city government of greater Melbourne. Melbourne is seen as an international educational hub, with many students from Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, India, Malaysia, China and other parts of Asia choosing to study at one of the city's many high schools and universities. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Melbourne,_Australia   (5489 words)
