Melbourne's a hip, vibrant city of art and music and the place to hang your backpack in the state of Victoria in Southeastern Victoria. There's much to do and see, not the least of which is a road trip by car or bus tour, and a good place to base yourself is Nomads Backpackers (hostels are called backpackers in Australia). It's clean, it's comfortable, it's a good enough value and the staff puts out some effort to make it feel friendly. Check out a personal review of the Nomads Backpackers, plus a few photos of the hostel and of should-see sights in Melbourne:
