The city of Melbourne, is a city of architecture.
Melbourne was founded in 1835, during the reign of King William IV, with the arrival of the schooner Enterprize near the present site of the Queen's Wharf, as a barely legal, speculative settlement that broke away from New South Wales. Unlike other Australian capital cities, Melbourne did not originate under official auspices, instead forming through the foresight of settlers from Tasmania.
The Town of Melbourne was raised to the status of a City by Letters Patent of Queen Victoria dated 25 June, 1847, just five years after its incorporation.
Melbourne had always been the capital of Australia until year 1929. This city is full of the mixture of old European migrant culture, a wide variety of international cuisines, and it is definitely a heaven for shoppers and fashion.
