About 65 per cent of Hume is rural land, 25 per cent is urban and the remaining 10 per cent is occupied by Melbourne International Airport. Its boundaries include Merri Creek, the Maribyrnong River, the Western Ring Rd, the Calder and Tullamarine Freeways and the northern outskirts of Sunbury, at the foothills of the Macedon Ranges. The Hume Leader was first published as the Broadmeadows Observer in 1956.
