Melbourne is one of the most multicultural cities in the world,
experiencing many waves of migration from all over the globe. The
diversity of our communities has contributed to an ever-evolving
melting pot of history, food and culture. Victorians come from more
than 200 countries, speak 260 languages and dialects and follow 135
religious faiths. We begin our trail at the Immigration Museum. Hear
the stories of arrivals from all over the world, their challenges,
their triumphs and their food. This 4-hour walking tour through the
