As a grisly piece of trivia, the passengers on TE-901 the Air New Zealand sightseeing plane which crashed on Mt Erebus in Antarctica had been served Peach Melba dessert at the time of impact.

I think she also occasionally sang for her supper. Correct, Melba House has been relocated to Marian in the Pioneer River Valley. Originally, house was built for the Sugar Mill Manager in Mirani ( also in Pioneer Valley). Nellie was the wife of the Manager. She became dissillusioned with life in the tropics before returning to Melbourne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secret to getting one of the question correct, is usually to be the first person to open the thread after the photo has been posted. 😁 There have been a lot of photos where I knew the answer, but was pipped at the post. Here is my next photo. Where are these people standing and what is the name of the island behind them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
