Sunshine, Administrative division in Melbourne, Australia
Sunshine lies 12 kilometers west of Melbourne's Central Business District within the City of Brimbank local government area.
The Sunshine Harvester Works, established in 1904 by H.V. McKay, transformed from Australia's largest manufacturing plant into the Sunshine Marketplace in 1992.
The population of 9,445 residents includes people with Australian, English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Irish ancestries, reflecting Melbourne's multicultural composition.
