Melbourne History & Culture
|
Melbourne was founded in 1835 and owes its birth to the enterprise and foresight of settlers from Tasmania searching for new pastoral land. There has been conjecture as to who is Melbourne's rightful founder, John Batman or John Pascoe Fawkner, who were also rivals during their lives. To find out more about the founders of Melbourne, visit the State Library of Victoria's online exhibition portal. Melbourne’s culture is one that you fall in love, inspiring a deep passion in those who live here and transcends the expectations of those that arrive. It is infectious. Melbourne is very much about lifestyle and so it is no surprise that it has been ranked one of the world’s most liveable cities. Melburnian’s love the city's vibrant energy, restaurants, fashion boutiques, café-filled laneways, cool bars, unbeatable galleries, spacious parks and village-like inner suburbs, each with its own special character. Melbourne is less than 200 years old and never sits still. Modern, cutting-edge designs add to the fascinating mix of heritage architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing. Sometimes, the best part of visiting a new city is when you depart from the tourist trail. While the big attractions can be great fun, often it’s the more subtle “insider” experiences that leave you feeling really satisfied.
