Melbourne also has the largest tram network in the world. Because of this, any shot of Melbourne in Australian media must have a tram in it. No exceptions.

Melbourne, the second largest city in UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}, is the capital of the state of Victoria, and according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the most livable city in the world. Its major landmarks include Federation Square (known for being ugly in the sight of many), the Eureka Tower, and the MCG[[note]]Melbourne Cricket Ground[[/note]].

Historically, Melbourne was founded relatively late for an Australian state capital (1835), but overtook all the other cities in Australia after the gold rush of the 1850s brought great wealth and a swift population increase to the city. Between 1880 and 1900, Melbourne was not merely the largest city in Australia, but in the entire Southern Hemisphere. It was also, at that time, the second largest city in the TheBritishEmpire, topped only by {{London}} itself. Shortly after Federation, it was overtaken by Sydney, which has remained the largest city (and the possessor of vastly more iconic landmarks) ever since.
