School projct - Melbourne ... help?!?!

[kimfrocanada]

I'm doing a project on the city of Melbourne and I need some help.

I need info on 3 traditions and customs.
Population, Language(s), Religion(s), Government and currency.
Also translations and slang for Hello, Goodbye and Thank you.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

Apparently they like Aussie rules in Melbourne, some describe it as a religion.

Would the melbourne cup fall under tradition or custom or is this more a religious event as well.

Thanks all!!
Wiki has definately been my friend but it's a little shaky when it comes to stuff like traditions and customs and the current population etc...

This came up after a 2 second Google search for Current population of Australia.
