Melbourne boasts a population of 3.2 million people over an area of 2,000 square kilometres. Melbourne's suburbs extend around the huge Port Phillip Bay, into the plains to the west and east and out to the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. The city centre is about three kilometres inland, on the northern bank of the Yarra River. The main north-south artery is Swanston street, while Bourke (a pedestrian mall for part of its extent) and Collins streets, which cross it, are the city's other two main shopping thoroughfares. The Yarra forms the city area's southern boundary.
