Melbourne, Florida is a city of over 76 thousand people, located southeast of Orlando and east of Kissimmee. The city is named after Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is the birthplace of the late rock singer Jim Morrison (of “The Doors”) and it's also the city where supermodel Kate Upton grew up -- she graduated from Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne.

Most of Melbourne is located on the Florida mainland, but a minor portion lies on a barrier island, separated by the Indian River Lagoon. The island – in turn - is a narrow strip of land that separates the Lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean. (In prehistoric times the Lagoon was connected to the Ocean. Today, the only connection is by way of a handful of inlets, including the manmade Sebastian Inlet at the southern end of Brevard County.) A pair of high-rise bridges -- the Melbourne Causeway and the Eau Gallie Causeway, span the Indian River Lagoon and connect the mainland to the barrier island.
