One of the unique characteristics of the Music of Australia and most particularly the rock, pop and indie rock music of Australia has been a fascination with the local environment be it urban or rural. This is a list of songs which mention or are about Melbourne the capital city of Victoria, Australia, the suburbs of Melbourne and nearby locations.
In 2004, an article by Michael Dwyer published in The Age discussed songs written about Melbourne. A list of twenty-five songs about Melbourne were also published•.
Fairfax sister publication, The Sydney Morning Herald ran a concurrent article discussing songs written about Sydney at the time. Interestingly, Paul Kelly had four songs in each list, one of which - "From St. Kilda To Kings Cross" - featured in both lists•.
