Why choose Melbourne?

Melbourne is a diverse and vibrant city, and currently stands as the capital of Victoria.
It is known for being the cultural hub of Australia, with residents and visitors alike
enjoying its numerous art galleries, museums and theatres. Popular with tourists
is its street art, attracting crowds throughout the year.

Due to the diverse nature of its residents, it's famous for its array of cuisines, with
rave reviews coming from its many restaurants, cafes and bars. If you like coffee,
then Melbourne is a must on your list. You can find excellent coffee in various
neighbourhoods in and around the city.

If you like variety when it comes to the climate, it's often regarded as having
'four seasons in one day'. The Australian sun is strong, so living somewhere
with more temperate weather conditions holds a lot of appeal to some.

With a mix of urban sophistication, affluent culture and laid back lifestyle, its
easy to see why Melbourne is a hotspot to live and to visit. If this has piqued
