Melbourne (pronounced /mel.bən/) is the state capital of Victoria, the southern most state on the mainland of Australia. Melbourne sits on Port Phillip Bay and is the second most populous city in Australia, with a metropolitan area population of approximately 3.7 million.
The seasons are reversed from Minneapolis so we (Phil and I) will be arriving in the fall and it will be winter time for most of our trip. Melbourne's climate is known for its changeable weather conditions. The phrase "four seasons in one day" is part of popular culture and observed by many visitors to the city. Just like home! Although it is colder than most other Australian capital cities in winter, the lowest maximum on record is 39.9 degrees Fahrenheit and snowfalls are extremely rare.
I am pretty sure we will be able to handle the moderate temps and I am really excited about the beaches!
