If I remember correctly there used to be a temple in Footscray belonging to Thich Nhat Hanh's organisation. That was some time back though!

There are quite a few according to the Buddhanet directory. They mostly cater to the large ethnic Vietnamese population in Melbourne. To my knowledge, the largest is Quang Minh temple in the western suburb of Braybrook. This temple is quite well known due to their hosting of HHDL's most recent teachings in Melbourne.
