Melbourne history
Melbourne's story is one of a bayside settlement that grew beside a
river to become one of the world's most exciting cosmopolitan
cities. From the humble beginnings of a few tents and bark huts,
the city has experienced boom and bust periods, gold fever, two
world wars and an influx of immigrants. It is today a vibrant
cultural melting pot loved dearly by all who live there.
