We know and love Melbourne as the culture capital. The sporting capital. The foodie capital. We know its glorious gardens, its bluestone laneways, its epic events. And each neighbourhood within is a world of its own.
People from many cultures call Melbourne home. Intriguing idealists, artists and entrepreneurs alike have created a place for themselves across the changing face of the municipality.
Melbourne has always been an important meeting place and location for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance, especially for the Traditional Owner groups that comprise the Eastern Kulin.
Today we are proud to say that Melbourne is a significant gathering place for all.
