处女座小公举-墨尔本快要过🎂生日🎂咯~,你想参加她181岁生日趴吗?

2016年08月18日 墨尔本生活俱乐部


每年的8月30日,对于墨尔本来说都是一个别具意义的日子~


自1835年8月30日起,第一批欧洲移民在亚拉河畔定居下来之后,历经百年的风霜洗礼逐渐形成一个现代化的城市-墨尔本就此诞生啦!


从此以后每年的8月30号就成了这位处女座小公举的生日啦~~



以往,每天的这一天,在墨尔本的市中心都要举办许多热闹的活动来庆祝墨尔本的生日,今年的181周年庆典当然也不例外。


为了庆祝Melbourne Day,大会安排了许多庆祝活动,许多餐厅、酒吧、景点、商店等等都加入了Cheers!Melbourne的行列。


让我们一起来看看具体都有哪些活动吧~


升旗仪式(Flag-raising ceremony)



墨尔本的市旗将在墨尔本市长以及众多贵宾的见证下冉冉升起,届时你将可以听到澳大利亚皇家海军乐队(Royal Australian Navy Band Melbourne)的演奏。演员们还会穿上1835年时期的服装模拟当时的第一批定居者,包括Gilbert,the Tassie tabby,还有墨尔本的第一只喵星人。

墨尔本帆船赛(Melbourne Regatta)



焦点活动,必定有机会让市民杨帆出海。届时,维多利亚港将会有五彩缤纷的船队表演,承载着所有家庭和Melbourne Passenger Boating Association对墨尔本的祝福,重现奋进号载着第一批移民登录墨尔本时的场景。本次由有着复古的设计和两层宽敞通透的甲板的Lady Culter去带你感受2016 Melbourne Regatta 。这艘船曾摆渡于悉尼,船上有全套的bar facility同时也供应美味的食物。去年Melbourne Day没能有机会乘船游览雅拉河的小伙伴这次可要抓住机会了!

Melbourne Our Town的歌词如下:

Melbourne is our town

Melbourne is our city

Come on, take the tram around

Look at all the beauty

Underneath the Southern skies

And together we’ll stand with one hope

And we all discover treasures in the place that we call home

Melbourne is our town

Melbourne is our city

Take the tram around

Look at all the beauty

Underneath the Southern skies

And together we’ll stand with one hope

Everyone can join us, let’s all rise up, come on celebrate

The rhythm of each day, with all the hustle and the bustle

Nature and man in harmony with each other

They came from different shores and taught us how to value freedom

And those who lived before us shared with us their wisdom

It’s the quiet of the park, it’s crowd and it’s the footy

It’s the starlight after dark, it’s our future and it’s history

We built on land and shore, discovered mountains, sailed the waters

Welcome everyone to this great land

In  Melbourne town

Melbourne is our town

Melbourne is our city

Come on, take the tram around

Look at the beauty

Look at all the beauty

Underneath the Southern sky

And together we’ll stand with one hope

Everyone come and join us, let’s all celebrate

Melbourne is our town

Melbourne is our city

Melbourne is our town

Melbourne is our city

Melbourne is your town

Melbourne is your city

Melbourne is your town

Melbourne is your city


Melbourne Day当天还会有Lord Mayor’s Oration lunch、Hidden Secrets Tours(街道探秘之旅)、Tall ship Enterprize以及Royal Historical Society events等活动。



此外,在庆祝墨尔本建市181周年之际,游客们还可以在Melbourne  Central购物中心免费使用数字相机棚给自己留下美好的记忆。在这个购物中心锥形屋顶下的塔楼广场(Shot Tower  Square)上就可以看到这个免费的照相设施。其实,不仅仅是游客可以参与,墨尔本本地的市民也可以加入,从墨尔本各种街景中挑选背景照片,并通过电邮 或社交媒体,传给家人朋友。
