About Melbourne

Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and has been voted the world’s most liveable city six years running. Divided into two parts by the Yarra river, Melbourne’s multicultural population finds its home amongst lush parklands and Victorian era architecture. The arts, culture, and food are a large focus of Melbourne’s 4 million plus residents and the Victorian government. The city is noted for its many and varied exhibitions and festivals.

Swinburne University of Technology

Swinburne University is the primary local host for DiGRA 2017. It is located in the heart of the urban suburb of Hawthorn which is a short train or tam ride from the city. Places to sample a variety of cuisines and catch up with other delegates abound, although this suburb is primarily known for its Indian and South East Asian cuisine.
