Melbourne was founded on 30 August 1835 when settlers sailed from Tasmania and landed at the location that is now known as Enterprize Park. The flag of the City of Melbourne features symbols representing the main industries of the early economy: wool, cattle, shipping and whaling. Eureka Tower, located in Melbourne, was the world's tallest residential tower when completed in 2006 but has since been surpassed by towers in Dubai.

3. Melbourne was founded on 30 August 1835 by the settlers
who sailed from Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) on board
the schooner Enterprize. They landed on the north bank of
the Yarra River, close to where Customs House stands today
and the place now known as Enterprize Park.
The Melbourne Day Committee was established to help
correct the record about the founding of Melbourne.

4. The City of Melbourne's flag features a
white background divided into four
quadrants by a red cross, which is the
cross of St. George, the patron saint of
England and taken from the English flag.
In the centre, a crown is visible, signifying
the Australian city's links to the British
Monarchy. Other items featured
are, going from top left clockwise, fleece
hanging from a red ring, a bull, a ship and
a whale.
The four cantons (flag) represent the main
activities of which the economy of the City
of Melbourne was based in the mid 19th
century. They were wool growing, cattle
raising, shipping and whaling.

5. Eureka Tower is a 297.3-metre (975 ft)
skyscraper located in the Southbank precinct
of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Construction
began in August 2002 and the exterior
completed on 1 June 2006. The plaza was
finished in June 2006 and the building was
officially opened on 11 October 2006. The
project was designed by Melbourne

developer of the tower was Eureka Tower Pty
Ltd, a joint venture consisting of Daniel Grollo

Dubai skyscrapers HHHR Tower and Ocean
Heights.[4]
