4Melbourne is similar to many modern cities around the world. However, it is also quite unique.
No matter where you come from you will feel at home, with the 170 or so ethnic groups who have
made Melbourne their home.
Few cities in the world contain as many parks and gardens as Melbourne. Set amongst as much
parkland as there is development, the Garden City of the Garden State lives up to its reputation.
Melbourne also has a reputation as the Culture Capital of Australia. Its restaurants, museums,
galleries and theatre are highly recommended to all visitors.

ank Place is a street in Melbourne, Victoria. It is a short, narrow laneway, running south from Little Collins Street between Queen Street and William Street in the central business district of Melbourne.

framed by Normanby Chambers.

7 precinct is subject to heritage restrictions, and some of the significant buildings include:
Mitre Tavern: historic pub established in 1868 and remodelled in the
Queen Anne style between 1900 and 1910. Mitre Tavern was a popular
'bohemian' hangout for many of Australia's most prominent artists of the
early twentieth century, alongside the neighbouring Savage Club.
12-16 Bank Place was built in 1884-85 for Australia's first baronet
Sir William Clarke. His son, Sir Rupert Clarke's mistress Connie Waugh
is said to have lived there. The Melbourne Savage Club purchased the
building in 1923. The building is classified by the National Trust of
Australia

Many of the taller old buildings have been converted into loft style apartments.
9Melbourne Recital Center

Melbourne Recital Center and adjacent Melbourne Theater Company is amongst
the most visually progressive works weve seen
in recent history. It comes as no surprise to
learn that these future-forward buildings have
been honored with the 2009 Victorian Architecture
Medal, a prestigious honor for firms like
Ashton Raggatt McDougal who designed these.
While the exterior of the Melbourne Theater
Company buildings focuses on form much more than
function, the heart of these state-of-the-art
theaters is rooted in sound acoustic principles.
Outside, bright neon-style beams wrap around
these buildings in a skeletal fashion,
behind it fluorescent streaks and dark
metal frames give the buildings strength.
The theaters themselves are a sight to
behold. One theater is a continuation of
the vivid, fluorescent exterior its black setting and pink magenta character wrap around
a central stage with an unabashed style.
The next theater features a breathtaking,
natural texture of driftwood that encases the
walls in a symmetrical but organic design.

lbourne Central is a large shopping centre,
office, and public transport hub in the city of
Melbourne, Australia. The complex includes the
Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, which was
refurbished in 2005 by architects Ashton Raggatt
McDougall.
Contained underneath the shopping centre's massive
glass cone sits the Coop's Shot Tower which was
built on the site in 1888. After last being used
in 1961, the tower was retained to become a focal-
point of the centre, R.M. Williams and the Shot
Tower Museum now take up the inside of it. The
tower was also featured in the opening sequence of
the 1997 Jackie Chan film Mr. Nice Guy.
Large scale redevelopment of the city block
bounded by Lonsdale, Swanston, La Trobe and
Elizabeth Streets was studied in some detail
during the 1960s and 1970s, being closely linked
with work on the City Loop underground railway.
Early work on the site commenced in 1971 when land
on the south side of La Trobe Street was acquired,
to enable the cut and cover construction of
Museum Station. With planning for the site being
carried out by the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop
Authority from 1980, the railway station opened in
1981, but protracted negotiations failed to find
an anchor tenant for the development, resulting
in the State Government of Victoria deciding in
1983 that a private developer should be sought.
