melbourne

Melbourne is a small georgian market town in South Derbyshire, England. It is about eight miles south of Derby and two miles from the River Trent. It contains a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants for the tourist. In 1837 a then tiny settlement in Australia was named after William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, and thus indirectly takes its name from Melbourne Hall, seat of the Lamb family, and the village. Also the name Melbourne name derives from "mill on the brook". It was first recorded in Domesday Book (DB 1086 Mileburne = mill stream) as a royal manor.

melbourne

An insignificant Australian city which suffers from delusions of grandeur.Mistakes the wearing of black skivies as an expression of fashion. Believes that gloomy lane-ways are architectural delights & thinks Lloyd-Webber musicals are high art

Can you believe how much better than other Australians we Melbourne people really are? But we're not stuck-up like Sydney people.
