Looking to relocate?
Melbourne is a vibrant city on the south-east coast of Australia. It is the culture capital of Australia and a fabulous place to live and use as a base to explore the rest of the country. The food, wine and coffee are the best Australia has to offer and there is a vast array of festivals, exhibitions and sporting events to attend throughout the year. It is a port city with beautiful beaches extending around the bay and temperate rainforests and wineries less than a one-hour drive away. Melbourne has a similar latitude to Seville, Athens and San Francisco- so we have the perfect balance of four seasons without ever getting too cold or hot.
