The people, the places, the sights, the sounds and the awesomeness of Melbourne. We'll pretend we don't bitch about the weather, ever.

Melbourne, according to urbandictionary

The wannabe capital of Australia. 
All they do is talk themselves up and bitch about Adelaide and Sydney. Every good thing about Melbourne is stolen and copied from elsewhere, yet they claim full credit. This city has delusions of grandeur. 
Melbourne is akin to a person born ugly, talentless and boring who then has non stop plastic surgery. Then lies, cheats and steals personality traits and life stories from others. All for the purpose of wanting everyone to think they are “the shit” 
Its just a sad wannabe city… 
It wants to be Adelaide but bigger and hipper than Sydney with a clean river like Perth. 

Vic: Melbourne is the best, Adelaide is a hole. 

Ad: Thats why you copy or steal every single idea and creation Adelaide comes up with, right? 

Vic: Fuck you. Sydney is too big and overrated, Melbourne is more laid back and beautiful. 

Syd: Thats why you are trying to BE us, always nipping at our heels, right? 

Vic: Fuck you. Hobart sounds like fart. 

Hob: You are running on empty. 

Vic: Fuck all of you, we invented football. 

Brissy: You Corrupted football. Theres only one real state of origin now. 

Vic: Fuck rugby. We have Rove. 


Perth: Actually, thats our fault.

Melbourne is a sexy, cosmopolitan city located in the state of Victoria, Australia. If Melbourne were personified she would be gorgeous, aromatic, and a’la mode, sipping on a mocha. Its Australia’s fashion capital, not to mention the centre of the arts, culture, shopping and food. And yes there is a ‘friendly regional rivalry’ between Melbourne and Sydney. And as others have had stabs at the worlds most liveable city, I’d like to provide some real defence, as un-biasedly as I can: 

* Melbourne actually got to be a capital for a while (1901-27), sydney never did. In fact the High Court of Australia was only moved to Canberra in 1980. 

* I’m sure many love ‘footy’ and rugby, yet Football (aka soccer) is the world game and played by the world’s masses, making both these sports quite insignificant in regards to any ‘claim of superiority’ by either city. 

* Melbourne hosted the Olympics nearly half a century before sydney, and still holds bigger and more significant events, eg Melbourne Cup, Australian Tennis Open, Grand Prix etc, plus a stack of other art/food/fashion festivals already mentioned. 

* As a city there actually is some marvellous architecture, too much to mention, though some already has been. The Opera house is a gem however, but I’m rather over the bridge. Melbourne’s city planning is undoubtedly superior to sydney, and everyone knows it, with its roads and streets, esp in the CBD. And let’s not forget Melbourne’s intricate transport system. It’s modern ..
