Melbourne (noun)
The second largest city in Australia, and the capital of the state Victoria. They spend most of their time complaining about Sydney and Adelaide. It is also home to the Yarra river, which is also known as the upside down river due to the fact it's dirty, smelly and awful.
It rains most of the time in Melbourne, although most of the residents are too snobbish to admit it.

Person from Melbourne: My city is better than YOURS! Adelaide is a hole and Sydney is an urban jungle.
Person from Adelaide: A hole? What, you haven't seen Burnside and North Adelaide?
Person from Sydney: At least our architecture actually looks good.

Melbourne is the second largest city and the second best
When you drive into Melbourne on the Hume Hwy, you are 10km from the City and you're in the middle of a paddock! Melbourne is ugly, dirty and has a delightfully beautiful river passing through the middle, yeah that can compare with beautiful Sydney harbour? Get over that World's Liveable City thing all 5 Australian cities made it in the top 10....and who in the world knows anything about Melbourne....when people from other countries think about Australia they think about Sydney....Melbourne is only the place for you if you like GAYFL

a city that can draw a crowd (unlike sydney) to an a-league game. admittedly it does have the worst sport in the world (afl), however us normal melbourners simply use the afl supporters to bag as a passtime. doesn't brag about having a bridge, nor does it have as many morons as sydney.

An Australian city, which is envied by all Sydneysiders, because we have AFL, Australian Open, Grand Prix, Formula One, just recently hosted Commonwealth Games in 2006, Rove Live, Neighbours, and now the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, The Eureka Tower.

The fashion, events, food and wine, arts, shopping, financial, entertainment and style capital of Australia. Sports and street art capital of the world. The only thing it isn't is tourist capital- they flock to see the one piece of arhcitectural brilliance Sydney ever saw (which is now liek 50 years old)leaving Melbournians to live in the world's greatest and most liveable city in contentment.
The city is literally alive with all the biggest events in Australia. Commonwealth Games, Fashino Festival, Food Festival, Arts Festival, Grand Prix, Fringe Festival, World Swimming Champs, AFL Grand Final, Aus Open.
Best architecture in Australia- Royal Exhibiton Buildings, MCG, FLinder's St Station, Southern Cross Station, Eureka and Rialto, Fed Square and literally thousands of others. Read about them all in the book Design City: Melbourne. Now I don't think there's one of those for Sydney... Nor is there anything like the number of events, nor the quality of their food, fashion, arts or culture. But thats ok, they can all go to the beach all day and try not to get raped or mugged.

SydneySider1: Because of the immense lack of anything to do in this overcrowded, polluted, dangerous city, I'm going to the beach to escape the stifling heat that grips our city for most of the year.
SydneySider2: So true. We've seen the opera house and bridge so now there's really not much to do. If only we lived in Melbourne we could enjoy the fantastic array of things there are to do and see all year round.
