Melbourne minutiae...

• Melbourne was founded in 1835 by John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner.
• Melbourne's Chinatown, established in 1854, is not only the oldest in Australia but one of the oldest in the world.
• Melbourne Cricket Ground has a capacity of 100,000.
• Matt Day, Cate Blanchett, Dame Edna and Portia de Rossi were all born in Melbourne. Mel Gibson wasn't.
• Melbourne is the only city in the world that has five international standard sporting facilities (including three with retractable roofs) on the fringe of its central business district.
• Melbourne is one of the best wired cities globally - broadband infrastructure is located within 100 metres (328 feet) of every office building in the central business district.
• The television soap opera Neighbours is recorded in a suburb of Melbourne. Since it began in 1985 the show has had 18 marriages, 11 deaths and six births, at the last count.
• And finally, Mission Impossible II wasn't filmed in Melbourne. Much of the film was made in Sydney, Australia.
