[OT] USAF & Melbourne

Okay - I need some help from my international folks here...  :)

As those of you in the states know, on Friday the DoD released the next
round of recommended base closures and "realignments".  My organization
is projected to be moved to Hanscom AFB outside Boston, MA.  I'm not too
crazy about that (and neither is my better half), so I was looking on
the Air Force's personnel assignment site to determine where all I might
be able to go.

The list just had base names, with no links or locations.  I recognized
most of the names, but one of the names that came up was "Melbourne".  I
wasn't aware of any bases there, and a search online showed nothing.
However, "Asheville" also showed up - but I know from previous
experience that the Air Force has an "office" in Asheville, NC.

Do any of you know where this "Melbourne" might be?  Florida?  Canada?
Australia?  (I don't think the Floridian city has that "u" in it.)  I
certainly wouldn't mind a two-to-three-year trip to Oz.  :)

Psst! Keep it quiet: Florida has no income tax (neither does Texas).

As for computer-related jobs, Florida has the world's largest collection of
spammers. Texas has insurance, banking, and space stuff.
