Melba Highway is a semi-rural highway that connects the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne to the town of Yea,[5] in Victoria's Upper Goulburn region. It is named after Dame Nellie Melba, a famed Australian opera singer of the early 20th century, whose former country estate lies at the southern end of the highway in Coldstream.
