Australia
It is considered to be the
financial capital of the country. In 1901 Melbourne was the capital city and was made
the capital of the country's federal government. In 1927 the capital was transferred to
Canberra.
The history of Melbourne began in 1835 when a fellow called John Batman
bought about 600000 acres of land from a band of Aborigines. He decided to build a
town there. Settlers began to move in and in 1851 gold was found. Goldseekers
poured in and the town grew rapidly. The city developed into a major port and
commercial centre. The landmarks to be mentioned in Melbourne are the City hall,
Olympic park and Royal Botanic gardens.
New South Wales. It is a picturesque state. It's got everything from the Blue
