Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday July 20 to Monday July 26, 2010.

Trivia


She Wasn't Such A Diva..


Dame Nellie Melba, born in 1861 at "Doonside"in Richmond Victoria, was originally named Helen Porter Mitchell. Although she found success overseas, she still carried a deep love and admiration for her homeland and also Melbourne.

The name of Melba, which is now synonymous with opera the world over, was chosen as a condensed version of Melbourne.
