Founded by free-settlers in 1835, Melbourne was transformed from a small pastoral settlement situated around the Yarra River into a growing metropolis by the Victorian gold rush in the 1850s. By 1865, "Marvellous Melbourne" was Australia's most populous and important city. It served as the temporary national capital from the Federation of Australia in 1901 until the construction of Canberra in 1927.

Melbourne is a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural activity. Often referred to as the sporting capital of Australia it is home to many of Australia's major annual sporting and cultural events, and was the host of the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Melbourne is renowned for its Victorian architecture, including the Royal Exhibition Building, and its notable landmarks such as the iconic Flinders Street Station and the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
