During the 21st century, Melbourne was the second most populous city in Australia. Melbourne was a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural activity. The city was often referred to as Australia's 'sporting and cultural capital' and it was home to many of the nation's most significant cultural and sporting events and institutions.
