Another tidbit about Melbourne (I'm a fan): while most of greater Melbourne orients ~8 degrees clockwise of true north, the Hoddle Grid right in the middle and South Melbourne instead orient ~20 degrees counterclockwise of true north, in order to align with the adjacent stretch of the Yarra River.
Naturally, as a lifelong resident, I lean 8 degrees to the right when reading any map.
