When Miss Eloise Juno came to Australia in 1867, she was already an accomplished actress, having played with the likes of Charles Kean. She played many Shakespearean roles in Australia, including Cleopatra, Beatrice and Lady Macbeth. Her last stage appearance was in 'The Little Minister' at the age of 79. Her neglected grave contains only the bottom half of a broken tombstone, which reads: BORN AT EDINBURGH 9TH MAY 1839
DIED AT MELBOURNE 15TH APRIL 1923. A LEADING EXPONENT OF THE MUSE
OF TRAGEDY AS WELL AS THAT OF COMEDY EVER GENTLE AND KIND |

Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
