Australia's second-biggest city, capital of the state of Victoria, twin city to Boston, and one of the economic powerhouses of the Southern Hemisphere, home to four of Australia's six largest companies.
It's been voted the world's most liveable city, and is one of the most famous in Australia. Like Boston, it's built around a massive harbour and river (Port Philip and the Yarra River), in south-eastern Australia, on the shores of the Pacific.
It's quite impressive to look at, too. Look.

Sports-wise, Melbourne hosted the Summer Olympics in 1956, is the home of Australian Rules Football, one of the most famous cricketing temples in the world and largest sports stadium in the Southern Hemisphere (the MCG), the Australian Grand Prix and the Australian Open (one of tennis' four Grand Slam tournaments), as well as any number of sports teams in any sport you could imagine, from baseball to rowing.
