The Encyclopaedia of Melbourne

Melbourne now ranks as one of the world's most liveable cities and, as such, deserves a reference work such as this encyclopedia. The city has been host to both the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics, has wonderful sports facilities such as the Rod Laver Tennis Centre, the Melbourne Exhibition Centre (known to the locals as “Jeff's Shed” after the State Governor who had it built), and of course the Melbourne Cricket Ground (the “G” to the locals) which seats 100,000 sports fanatics in complete comfort to enjoy not only cricket but closely contested games of Aussie Rules Footie.
