Melbourne is a city full of diversity, art, and entertainment. It’s a place where something new lurks around every corner and in every alleyway, merging the appeal of the Old World with the heartbeat of a modern metropolis – building a character of its own that’s unique to the globe and embracing its visitors with the hustle and bustle within.
A Diverse People
Melbourne can be considered a massive melting pot of people and culture; the city has over a hundred spoken languages and over half of its residents are born overseas. Also proud of its progressive and inclusive cultures, these communities had the first gay and lesbian radio in the world! Along with a burgeoning nightlife scene, the city keeps up with the vitality provided by its people.
The Variety of Cuisine
As the city’s inhabitants are of a large melting pot, so can be expected of the local cuisine! With such staples as Vegemite, Eastern such as Dim Sum, and honest Italian and European dishes, there’s not much that is truly Australian – except for a healthy helping of Kangaroo! The meat is lean and often used as a great barbecue game, a good source of protein.
The Places to Visit
From the bustling inner-city markets of Queen Victoria to the distinctive designs of Federation Square, all the way to the parks and gardens that make Melbourne the Garden City of Australia – there’s no shortage of places to visit in and around Melbourne. Make sure to add a few places to your journey when staying at resorts or Broadbeach hotels.
Things Only Done in Melbourne
Dare to see the fairy penguins of the St. Kilda beach? Or perhaps nibble on some hot-jam doughnuts from a van that’s been around since the 50s? Regardless of your choice of activity, there’s enough of a blend of all kinds of things! Whether it’s eating, sightseeing, taking in some history or a meaningful play, feel the pulse of the city and the unique experiences it has to offer – all luckily within reach of residential options, such as the Avani Broadbeach Residences.
