Melbourne is a city with so much on offer
Find out what’s on in Melbourne. Here is just a glimpse of what you can experience during your visit.
History and heritage
Melbourne was founded in 1835 and has a rich history of multiculturalism. The city boomed in the 1850s as a result of the gold rush, which established the city as Australia’s major financial centre.
Located in the beautiful Carlton Gardens and next to the World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building, delegates can explore life in Victoria through exhibitions such as 'The Melbourne Story' and 'First Peoples'.
Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre
Celebrate the vibrant cultures of Indigenous Australia with its rich traditions of performance, storytelling and artwork set against a powerful history of survival against the odds.
Located in the city centre, delegates can visit the cell of Australia’s most famous bushranger outlaw, Ned Kelly.
The striking monument, housed in the Royal Botanic Gardens, was built to honour the lives lost in World War One and is now a memorial to all Australians who have served in war.
Hear from our local cultural makers, explore rich and wonderful identity narratives and stories and reflect on global histories that shape society today.
The Koorie Heritage Trust at Federation Square takes Koorie peoples, cultures and communities from the literal and figurative fringes of Melbourne to a place that is a central meeting and gathering place for all Victorians. Our location at Federation Square is a recognition of our shared history and the importance of Koorie peoples as part of a broader 21st century community.
Fitzroy Aboriginal Heritage Walking Trail
The Aboriginal History of Fitzroy walking trail identifies sixteen sites of significance. It was the birthplace of many important Aboriginal organisations, centre stage for the fight for civil rights and a meeting place for linking-in with family. Each site is marked with a bronze plaque identifying key details.
