Luxury Hotels Melbourne Australia

Culture and Melbourne go hand in hand in this breathtaking city. Melbourne has been a settled area for thousands of years; but it has only been a comparatively short time, actually since Queen Victoria was on the throne, that Melbourne has acceded to its own thrown of power, and great wealth.

Sydney is resplendent in our hearts and minds as the city we first think of when contemplating Australia. In fact many people believe it to be the capital city of Australia. It was Melbourne however that held the coveted position of the most impressive and powerful city in Australia, the wealthiest city in the world, and the second largest city in the British Empire after London, until the turn of the twentieth century.

The gold rush of the 1850's in Australia, brought a tremendous influx of people to this quiet settlement, and brought Melbourne to the distant ears of the rest of the world. It was with this newfound wealth that the hitherto pitiful fortunes of Melbourne were to change beyond the wildest dreams of its citizens.

The Victorian love of grandeur is still very evident in the outstanding public buildings that can be seen in Melbourne. Take a walk through the city, and you will discover Government House, Parliament House, The Treasury Buildings, The Supreme Court, The State Library, the University, The General Post Office, St Paul's and St Patrick's cathedrals.

Melbourne held power over the country, but it was a short live reign. After the banking crisis of 1893 had taken it's toll, Melbourne was to relinquish its political hold to the newly designed and constructed capital city of Canberra, and it's title of largest Australian city to Sydney.
