Travel Tips
Nellie Melba was born Helen Porter Mitchell. She took her stage name "Melba" from her home town, Melbourne. (Another Australian opera singer, June Bronhill was born in Broken Hill and took her name from there.) She was a great opera singer but became particularly famous for taking some time to retire. She was doing farewell tours for about ten years before she finally stopped singing.

As a general rule we wouldn't have a clue either who is on our notes or what they did. But since you are interested in Australia I took the time to find this link for you.
Cheers.

Dame Nellie Melba is probably who you are talking about.

She was a famous opera singer.

Unless I am totally wrong and someone can show me otherwise, the dessert Peach Melba was created in her honour
Absolutely spot-on 'The_Mouse'.
