Q&A about Olga Ernst in this interview with Belinda Calderone
Vonny Kemister is testing a story to tell at the Botanic Garden. Vonny’s story comes from Olga Earnst’s [sic] Fairy Tales from The Land of the Wattle (1904)
A reference to my talk at Brighton Historical Society in 2012
My research would not be so rich or so accurate without the help of Ernst relatives who have sourced further information, fellow researchers, friends in the Melbourne Lutheran Trinity community and of course my coffee-drinking companion and research assistant Susan. I am always grateful for further information.

I have just come across some photos in one of my family albums, previously unidentified. They are of the Straubel family as kids and another of three children - noted as Elsa, Olga and Hans. I have no doubt that this is your 'Olga'. Yet another of a Max Ernst as a boy.
My great drandfather was EB Heyne, hence the photos in my possession. I know little about the Straubel side of the family, but thought you might like a copy of one or any of the photos. Please let me know - lizneedl@adam.com.au.
Cheers
