Known as a style-setter, Melbourne is home to a seemingly non-stop programme of festivals and musical extravaganzas. One of Melbourne’s name tags is Australia's sporting and cultural capital'. And back in 1956, the city’s hectic agenda also included the Summer Olympics. Think of Australia, and the chances are you picture koalas and kangaroos. Well Melbourne, more than practically any other city in Australia, is celebrated for the close relationship between its human, and unique animal, populations.

The strange thing about Australia is that humans and animals do not just live as neighbours; it as if they are actually friends. Well, next, we’re going to meet a very special animal friend of the Australians – almost a national hero; a horse named Phar Lap.
