Named after Melba
Legend tells us that the building was named after the celebrated soprano Nellie Melba, because Melba had “got her way” in Wodonga after failing to have a similar tribute in nearby Albury assigned to her during her “Back Blocks” tour. This regional tour of Melba’s was designed to bring high-caliber opera to remote and regional Australian towns.
