Why was Melbourne founded?

Melbourne was founded primarily in response to the need for more pastureland and for the settlers to have a base from which to spread out. It was also founded because John Batman started a settlement "illegally".

As a native born Australian, Batman wished to open up new pastureland and promote the growth of the colonies. He applied for land in the Westernport Bay area of southern Australia, now Victoria, but was refused his request. In May 1835, he explored Port Phillip Bay, looking for suitable sites to settle. On 6 June 1835, he signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, which enabled him to have free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. Two months later, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his supporters as trespassers on crown land.

Despite the attempts at government intervention, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. The new township was surveyed and named as Melbourne on 3 March 1837, in honour of the British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne.

Was Australia's capital city formerly Melbourne?

Melbourne was never the capital of Australia. There is a common misconception that, because Melbourne was the temporary seat of government between Federation (1901) and 1927, that it was also the capital. This was not the case, as it was never officially designated the title of Capital, even temporarily. Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days. It was therefore decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. A location was chosen which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne. Thus, Canberra became Australia's first, and only, capital city.

What are the ride prices at the royal Melbourne show?

We went to the Melbourne show yesterday and the cost for rides were ridiculous. Some were up to seven dollars, so if you have a big family the costs soon add up. There were cheaper rides in the small kids section but they soon add up as well. What really peeved me was the long euro slide, which was three dollars per child per ride, which was over in ten seconds. Ten dollars each to put the kids on the bungie jumpers. Over near the dog sheds there were signs up for 10 rides for $20. Some lady had tickects because she said her kids didn't like the rides, so we bought the rest off her, to find (ALSO) that the tickects were not for all the rides in that area (and they were the least interesting rides out of the lot.) We were lucky to get out of there for around $350. $75 to get in. That's an extremely expensive day out and we said no to the kids all day because we could have been stung for a lot more.

What is Melbourne longest train route?

To answer this questions you have to consider a few things. For example, you need to discount highways and you need to put a limit on how far outside Melbourne the road extends to. Also, there are plenty of long roads that change name, for example, Wellington Rd is long but then changes to North Road. For this reason, I would say that Springvale Road is by far the longest road in Melbourne. It begins around upper Donvale and ends around the begining of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

Is it allowed to take photos of Monet's Waterlilies in the Orangerie in Paris?

Generally: YES. Flash is not allowed anywhere (and in most cases, would be a bad idea anyway), and you're generally not allowed to use a tripod (in some places, like the Palace at Versailles, they actually require that you check any tripods; not sure about the Louvre, but you might as well not bring one, because you won't be allowed to use it).



Having visited a couple national museums in and around Paris(the Louvre, Orsay, the Palace at Versailles), these seem to be the general rules (as of November, 2009).



Contrary to some old reports you might see on the web, photos are currently allowed in the room with the Mona Lisa (not to mention Winged Victory and the Venus de Milo). Everyone visiting there is taking photos, plus I asked one of the staff just to make sure.


Temporary exhibitions tend to not allow photos. Look for the signs carefully. There are usually two types of signs: one for no flash photography (for the permanent exhibitions) and one for no photography at all (temporary exhibitions). You should assume no photography at temporary exhibitions. Whenever you're not sure, ask a staff member.

How long did it take Germany to capture Paris in 1940?

Germany captured Paris on June 14, 1940, just six weeks after launching their invasion of France on May 10, 1940. The rapid success of the German Blitzkrieg tactics, combined with the French military's inability to effectively respond, led to the swift fall of Paris. This quick victory allowed Germany to establish control over France and ultimately led to the signing of the armistice on June 22, 1940.
