Just for fun, it could be the Melbourne in Florida.
I'm in Bakersfield.
There's a few of those scattered about.
Indeed. A lot of times when the Brits settled in another country, they
founded places with the same names that they rememebred from the UK.
But in this case, the original message did specify Australia or the UK,
so I think it's reasonable to assuem the Melbourne is one of the oens in
theose 2 countries, probably the well-known city in the former.
