Melbourne is located in the state of Victoria at latitude 38 º 50 'South, is the second largest city in Australia, first in length, its population is slightly smaller than the population of Sydney. Melbourne has about four and a half million inhabitants and is continuously growing, which makes it a great work center, which has the broad market. The center is located inside a rectangle exquisitely designed, which sets the main offices of big companies and multinational companies also. Leaving this rectangle ventures, the city observed a lower level with construction of one or two floors, and extends into wide open roads to the suburbs go from one extreme to another. Melbourne has many natural beauties, has a flat terrain with no mountains or hills, making the landscape monotonous and repetitive, without the natural attractions that visitors usually seek to find. The Yarra River cuts the city into two halves, and the part which lies to the east called Southbank, where there are many cafes and restaurants, and the Crown Casino.

The city is known for its extreme climate, with constant changes in temperature during the day, which makes it unique. It is not uncommon to wake up in the morning with low temperatures of 16 degrees in the house, and by afternoon the temperature can change drastically and reach 44 degrees. A beautiful sunny day and warm wind, can give way to a storm with heavy rain and very cold, straight from the south pole changing the thermometers in a unique way. The people who are already accustomed to, always keep a jacket and an umbrella in the car trunk for possible weather disturbances. The temperature of the seawater in the bay of Port Phillip, much like the inhabitants of the South Pole, penguins and seals in the region. A simple program like going to the beach or a picnic in the park can turn into a disaster in the blink of an eye, to ensure it is always good to look at the weather forecast in the site location.

Melbourne despite being large and populous city is a pleasant to know, with routes very simple and mainly consists in a well organized city. Melbourne is culturally, certainly the most diverse city across Australia, with immigrants from all nationalities, in a magnificent mixture of languages, lifestyles, races, religions, unique in the world. The most spoken languages are English, Chinglish, Greglish, Espinglish, and even Itinglish Portinglish. There are places like the neighborhood of Clayton, who is to stroll the sidewalks, as if they were citizens in those documentaries that show figures vastly different, weird and bizarre characters from all over the planet. This mixing of cultures, induces a vibrant life that make people love her or hate her.

Due to the large number of businesses, restaurants, factories, importers, Melbourne is certainly one of the places in Australia where they can work more easily. I dare say that the job vacancies in Melbourne beats Sydney on a large scale. To compensate, the round trip time of service is approximately one hour. A huge and effective network of trains, trams and buses, providing public transportation to anywhere in the city late at night every day of the week. Packages conjugates for hours / days / week, are available, including provision for students. In opposition to this, taxis are expensive because of the great distances to be covered, but the public transport as well as being cheaper, reaches any destination. Life is divided around the work during the week and talk business in their spare time.

The national sport by the population is golf and going out for dinner, lunch, eat a snack, preferably in a nice location around accompanied by a local wine. The Crown Casino, is always crowded, and besides a imposing beauty, has a very large number of people in their dependênciasdurante all hours of the day. Leaving the center, St. Kilda is one of the busiest neighborhoods in and around Melbourne, famous for its bars, restaurants and nightlife. This district is at about 20 minutes by Tram from the city center, and has only one street with cafes, where tables are set in the sidewalks and the prices high. The beach is not an example of beauty, but with the latent heat breaks a twig, is very clean, especially on Sundays and attended by people whose metabolism is unknown cold water, it is unthinkable to go into that water temperature conditions in which it presents. St.Kilda has attracted many tourists and students to live, but what amazes is that food prices are very expensive. For example, a plate of pasta (Spaghetti) costs about A$ 15.00 because of the food in Melbourne, no matter where you are, is expensive, what you should do is buy food at supermarkets and prepare them at home, and the easiest way to save money. A reasonable option in Melbourne, before the high price of food is a buffet restaurants, which charge around A$ 16.00 per person. There, you can eat until the limit of his stomach and still have space left for dessert. Melbourne can be described as the city of restaurant, there you will find the greatest diversity of dishes and culinary backgrounds, truly separate dishes to Italian, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, among others, offering a variety of foods to satisfy the taste any love for food. Anywhere in the city, there are first-class restaurants, with the purchase amount proportional to the quality of food.

The route has 75 years, about 300 km long and was built over 14 years. Coasts of the coast of southeast Australia and exudes beauty in spectacular landscapes. The initial 100 km Great Ocean Road, departing at Bells Beach (site of the largest in the world surfing circuit), go across the Surf Coast. However, once you get the mediations of the city of Apollo Bay, Great Ocean Road is a sideshow, really impressive, going through the wet forest Otway Forest, part of the National Park Otway National Park.

The forest is composed of eucalyptus and offers unique opportunity to observe up close to koalas entire families. They are comfortably propped up the branches in the treetops, feeding on leaves, but only some of a particular species. Travelers passing by usually do a stop for picnics.

Near Princetown, where the road back to accompany the Australian coast, which is seen is simply wonderful: emerge from the ocean floor the huge Twelve Apostles Creed. Amid the noise of the strong winds and waves that explode from the blocks of stone, you get off the car and already sees the cabin scene: massive pillars, of more than 30 meters, with only 2 meters underwater.

Another thing that is very worthwhile, is the Red Tram that runs through downtown, and the part that is noteworthy, it's free. You can pick up and down, as many times as you want at the various stops en route. Trams Other more modern, used to support movement to the suburbs including a new model that looks much like a bullet train. Separate your money exchanged, because the Tram has no collector or heat exchanger. You can choose to buy a pass or a ticket in electronic terminals that looks much like a public telephone and, not coincidentally, only accept coins. Tram travel in without the proper ticket can get you fined A $ 2000 if caught by authorities.
