Melbourne (pronounced either or In the varieties of English where the phoneme is realised phonetically as before . This so-called 'salary-celery' merger is a feature of English spoken in Victoria, as compared with the other states of Australia.) is the state capital and largest city in the Australian state of Victoria, and the second-largest city in Australia, with a population of approximately 3.7 million (2006 estimate).Australian Bureau of Statistics – Population Projections (see Section 5.13) Melbourne is the southernmost city in the world to have a population of over one million people.

Melbourne has twice shared top position in a survey by The Economist of The World's Most Livable Cities on the basis of its cultural attributes, climate, cost of living, and social conditions such as crime rates and health care, once in 2002,Melbourne and Vancouver are the world’s best cities to live in Economist Intelligence Unit (2002). and again in 2004. The US's Utne Reader puts it thus: "Add a long tradition of civic pride, communities of new immigrants from around the world, and the best food in Australia, and you have a recipe for what many claim is the hippest city in the Southern Hemisphere" (Nov/Dec 2001).

Melbourne is home to Australia's three largest corporations, Telstra, BHP Billiton and the National Australia Bank. It is also home to the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the majority of companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
