Who discovered Melbourne and when?
Cities are never discovered: they can only ever be founded (established).
Melbourne lies in Port Phillip Bay, and this area was only discovered by Europeans in 1802, when Matthew Flinders explored the bay while circumnavigating Australia.
A year later, the British Government instructed Lieutenant-Governor David Collins to establish a settlement on the southern coast, specifically, the Mornington Peninsula. For various reasons, this settlement failed.
Native born Australian John Batman applied for land in the Westernport Bay area of Port Phillip. After not being granted any, in May 1835 he led a syndicate calling themselves the 'Port Phillip Association' to explore Port Phillip Bay, looking for suitable sites for a settlement. On 6 June 1835, Batman signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, giving him free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. 2 months later, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his syndicate as trespassers on crown land. Despite the attempts at government intervention, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. John Batman is considered to be the founder of Melbourne.
The new township was surveyed and named as Melbourne on 3 March 1837, in honour of the British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne

Melbourne is a beautiful place all year round with nice beaches, the Melbourne museum, the botanical gardens, the Delicious food of lygon st and the great shopping at the Bourke st mall. I live an hour away from Melbourne on the beautiful Mornington peninsula and Melbourne is always a great place to go to, especially the docklands, with ice skating, great cafes, and factory outlets like Supre' and Ice. I defiantly recommend going there, its a lovely place.

These directions are from Google Maps.. coming from geelong, travelling to Melbourne oftenly, I agree with these directions.. however depending on where abouts you are headed in Geelong.. i would recommend the Geelong Ring Road which is an easy way to avoid the many traffic lights in geelongs central area.. it circles the western suburbs and I find it easy to get to suburbs like Newtown via the ring road. It can be located off the Princes Highway near Corio.
