Melbourne is a delight of contrasts, with its multi-cultural heritage and its influx of people from all over the World it’s no wonder Melbourne has become one of the most livable cities in the World, and has won that coveted title for numerous years in a row, making it the perfect city to to create a Streets of Melbourne Themed Event for.

Originally the home of the Kulin nation it consisted of five different Aboriginal tribes with each their own language.  Melbourne first began to form as a tent city of just 50 settlers but quickly grew to into a population in excess of 700,000 by the 1870s. The rapid growth in population was primarily due to the Gold Rush during the 1850s which turned Melbourne into a International destination of choice by those seeking to win their riches through these lucrative years.

This rich heritage has made Melbourne into the city it is today, diverse, and multi-cultured, unique and very special.
