Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne, one of the most beautiful city s in the world. I have
traveled through the USA, Canada & the Bahamas, and still, I find
Melbourne is the greatest.
In 1981 I was born in a New South Wales mid-coast town of Port
Macquarie. I lived there until I was the age of four, and that s when we
made the move to Victoria.
I grew up in Kew, a suburb of Melbourne, not far from the actual city.
Most of my family lived there, and was the main cause for the move. I
went to school and met lots of friends. Nearly every night my friends
and I would get together and go to the local car park and roller-blade
for a few hours before going to 7-11 for a Slurpee.
I look back at those days, and see how Melbourne was in the 80 s and
early 90 s. Old buildings and great friendly people. Still, Melbourne
has all of this, as well as new developments, such as new multi-million
dollar entertainment complex s. Over the past 5 years, Melbourne have
brought us the all new Exhibition Building and of course, the Crown
Casino. This was a great move for the Kennett government, as it proved
to be successful with the un-employment problem. It didn t stop the
problem, but it sure did help it. The casino complex is not only for
gambling, it is also a great place for teenager s to go the movies or
even the special area for arcade games, sort of a side show alley. Crown
also contains 2 nightclubs and is host to many international bands.
In 1997, the decision was made to start construction of the Docklands
stadium, for football and cricket, much bigger then the MCG.
Construction is underway and it should be complete in the year 2000.
As well as all these new constructions, Melbourne is home to a lot of
well known events. The Ford Australian Tennis Open, is one of the
biggest with thousands of international visitors annually. Biggest of
them all, has got to be the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix. It was only
a few years ago that Melbourne got this wonderful event, as it used to
be held in the streets of Adelaide. It is now located along the banks of
Albert Park Lake. Moomba is an event which every Victorian, cant wait
for. Its an annual event, held at the same time as the Grand Prix, and
has been biggest festival since around the early 60 s. Melbourne comes
alive, with the sound and vision of Fireworks, and laser light shows, as
well as the international Moomba Masters Water Skiing championships.
Melbourne is a very diverse area in cultural aspects. Different areas
are dominated by different cultures. If you feel like a trip to China,
well China Town in Little Bourke St, in the city, or Richmond, is a
place to go to get the feel of that culture. The Italian dominated area
would be Lygon St in Carlton, with extremely good restaurants and great
hospitality.
A approval, recently was given to Grollo (a building company), to build
the worlds tallest Building in the heart of Melbourne. This building,
"The Grollo Towers" will be 560 meters high with 113 levels, which will
take 70 seconds to reach the top in an elevator. The tower will provide
views up to as far as 90kms on a clear day. It will also have a 110m
light beacon on the top shooting skyward. This building would be 110
meters taller then the current tallest building, which is the "Petronas
Towers" in Kuala Lumpur. I personally think this will be a great thing
for Melbourne in the future, for tourism.
From all of the above, Melbourne is the best city in the world in my
eyes, and is developing more and more every single day, to become a
better place.
