JUNE’06 NEWSLETTER
EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES –
Melbourne is the destination for the June issue of the Venue Review, the ‘now’ place for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions in a modern metropolitan city that offers a wealth of experience and facilities.
Melbourne seems to have a life of its own, vibrant, friendly, stylish and of course very sporty.
A quote from the Lonely Planet encapsulates the feel of Victoria’s capital – “Melbourne is dubbed marvelous for a reason. Healthy hedonism masquerades as high art: Melbournians are equally passionate about football and ballet, nuts for fashion, munchy for restaurants, ravenous for music and hot for theatre. It’s a smorgasbord of a city that invites you to take a bite.”
In the past few years Melbourne has undergone extensive refurbishment of its public spaces and buildings. Many of the old buildings are renovated and rejuvenated, maintaining their historic features while containing updated and more efficient interiors. In particular, glass and wrought-iron arcades, classical colonnades, italianate frescoes and marble interiors abound in the city. Intersperse your meeting with a walking, tram or motorcycle tour and learn how the city was literally built on gold.
