#OTD in 1928 – The last active Fenian, John Devoy, dies in Atlantic City, NJ.

Fenian, John Devoy, whom the London Times called ‘the most dangerous enemy of this country Ireland has produced since Wolfe Tone’. John Devoy was born in Kill, Co Kildare, on the 3 September 1842. He worked for a short time as a clerk before joining the Fenian organisation. In 1861 Devoy travelled to France where he enlisted in the Foreign Legion and spent a year in Algeria learning the skills of…

Lindsay 'Rocky' Herbert Vagne (aka Vane), originally from Nowra, NSW, developed a keen interest in snakes and tattooing very early on. Some early records have him performing a snake show at Lismore Showground, with a newspaper reporting that he "crashed his sulky," killing some of his snakes as he travelled there (6 May 1914). With articles about him at the Lismore show, dated around November of the same year.

The next dated source of Rocky has him trying to take snakes onto a train in Marborough, Victoria.

Rocky arrived in Perth in mid-1920's and began travelling around to carnivals like White City/ Uglieland showing snakes that he had captured, which included Tiger Snakes collected possibly from Garden Island.

Around 1925 Rocky was apparently a member of 'Gus Leighton's Snake Academy', with an article written in the paper, featuring 'Professor Rocky', Gus, a man named Milo and a woman named 'Madame Lutricia'.

In 1927, Rocky is documented performing with his wife, Annie Vagne nee Whitby, under her stage-name 'Cleopatra' at the Digger's Fair.

In 1928, one of Rocky’s snakes bit his wife Annie on the thumb while performing, and she unfortunately died a short time later.

Rocky must have had a daughter with Annie (or prior) as a photo of him and an aged daughter appear in the paper, shortly after the death of 'Cleopatra'.The daughter goes unnamed.

Later, an inquest into the death of Mrs. Vagne gets underway, with Rocky insisting on the hospital being responsible for 'neglect' by removing a ligature he had placed on her thumb, which was bitter by a Tiger Snake.

After her death, Rocky continued shows at Uglieland (White City), invoking some scrutiny in the papers.

In 1929 Rocky was charged with abducting a 16 year old girl, and arrested at Boulder, before being remanded at Kalgoorlie.The charges were later withdrawn when it was found the girl accompanied him alongside her mother.

Later that year (1929), Rocky employed Harry Melrose (48) as his show assistant, who was also bitten and then died.

At some point Rocky married his second Wife, Miriam Rita Tchan in 1929, who later took him to court to divorce him in 1936, citing, that he was a drunkard who kept snakes under the bed and deserted her, apparently having done so in 1932 stating he was "tired of being tied up".

In April 1934, Rocky was convicted of being ‘in a dwelling with intent’ and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. While Rocky was still imprisoned, Mrs. Vagne was granted her divorce, as well as granted custody of 'her child'. (Whether this was a child she and Rocky had or a child from Rocky's previous marriage in unknown, though one article states there was one child between their union).

Within the court proceeding Rocky brought his 8 year old daughter in as 'evidence', stating that she had 'taken the bite of every snake in the well at one point or another and was still in perfect health.' With the reporter writing: 'Never before, perhaps, was seen a child bearing so many scars. Her little knees were red and pimply. Her face was a mass of pimples and scars. Below the short sleeves of her little one-piece frock, her frail little arms showed many marks left by the reptile fangs'.

The case ended with him being given 24 hours to get out of the state.

It has been theorised that Rocky dumped his snakes onto Carnac Island, explaining the booming population of approximately 400 Tiger Snakes that currently inhabit the island. Whether truth of folktale is still debated.

In 1937, after having left Western Australia, for South Australia after being forced to leave the state, Rocky was once more performing with snakes, where after being bitten by one and collapsing 100 snakes escaped, being reported in the newspaper.

In 1941, Rocky married his third wife, Joyce Alice Mary Trevorrow, who learned to be a snake charmer from Rocky.

In 1943 newspapers reported on a car Rocky was driving in Victoria, where he was transporting snake for Melbourne Zoo along with another snake catcher named 'Leona', with the car catching fire and 100 snakes dying.

In 1944, Rocky owned a tattoo shop on Flinders Street in Melbourne. It’s likely Rocky was tattooing while in Perth, given the first evidence of his career as a tattoo artist dates to c.1915 in NSW. He had a tattoo parlour located at 84 James Street in Northbridge from around 1933.

While working at his tattoo shop, a man attempted to steal a Tiger Snake from Rocky, this man (George Tchan) was bitten and taken to Royal Melbourne Hosptial.This name also matches the name of Rocky's second Wife father. So there is probably some deeper story there.

In 1946, while in Tasmania, Rocky was bitten once too many times, succumbing to his snake bite and dying, with an obituary in the paper mentioning his wife Joyce, and a daughter Sylvia.

His widow, Joyce, continued on performing snake shows.

In 2024, during conservation works in the Main Cell Block of Freemantle Prison, archaeologists retrieved artefacts hidden underneath the floor, which included fragments of a tattoo art dated to c.1934 and attributed to ‘Rocky Vane’.

The fragmented designs found under the floor would have originally been one larger piece drawn and painted by Rocky, referred in the tattoo industry as ‘flash’, that he could use to advertise his tattoo works to other prisoners.

The fragments of Rocky’s designs are now being carefully conserved and adopted into Fremantle Prisons museum collection.

Australia - Perth - Fremantle

[scotianostra]

9th July 1946 saw the birth in Kirriemuir of Bon Scott.

Born Ronald Belford Scott, his family emigrated from Scotland to Australia in 1952 when he was six.

Scott attended North Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts until he dropped out at the age of fifteen. It was while in high school that he was given the nickname “Bon”.

Bon had a difficult youth full of neglect, crime and abuse. After spending a few months in juvenile institutions for a number of minor offences including theft and "unlawful carnal knowledge", make of that what you may lol, he even tried to escape from Fremantle Prison. He gained interest in music after working a few odd jobs on his release.

He started his first band, The Spektors, in 1966 and served as their drummer while sharing occasional lead vocals. It wasn’t, however, until in 1974 when he gained widespread recognition as the frontman of the hard rock band AC/DC, after replacing their lead singer Dave Evans. He recorded six albums with the band and became a worldwide celebrity with 1979’s Highway to Hell. Bon shared the writing credits of the title song with Malcolm and Angus Young. The album was AC/DC’s first album to peak inside the US charts.

Bon, unfortunately, was not a part of the grand success of the band’s next album, Back in Black. He was drinking heavily at a night club in London and died of acute alcohol poisoning on 19 February, 1980 inside a friend’s car. There have been a number of conspiracy theories involving Bon’s death, but none absolutely proven. Back in Black would go on to be their biggest-selling album with Brian Johnson as the new vocalist.

When AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, Bon’s family members attended the ceremony in his place. He was cremated, and his ashes are buried in the Fremantle Cemetery in Fremantle, Western Australia.

Bon Scott was rated as number one in Classic Rock’s July 2004 list of the “100 Greatest Frontmen Of All Time”. He was ranked fifth on Hit Parader’s 2006 compilation of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of all time.

His bronze statue was unveiled in 2008 at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour in Western Australia. A statue of the AC/DC singer was unveiled at the annual Angus, Bonfest festival held in his honour in May 2016

Australia 2023

18th- 20th January

It has been good to spend a few days relaxing at Christine and John’s place in Goulburn - its greatest claim is that its prison houses Australia’s most high risk convicts! We visited a quaint place called Exeter, so a few photos of this Devon namesake were required, in addition to the great coffee and cake. We also visited Fitzroy Falls with some amazing views of the falls and the valley below. We also visited the majestic Kangaroo Valley.

On Thursday Christine and John drove us to Sydney airport for our evening flight to Perth. I was surprised when I realised that the flight was 5 hours and there is a 3 hour time difference so it was quite late by the time we picked up our hire car and drove to our hotel in Fremantle.

We awoke to a fabulous day in Fremantle and decided to get the express catamaran to Rottnest Island, about 30 mins away. We spent the day exploring the many sandy bays, watching the seals and sea birds, discovering quokka (miniature wallabies!), swimming and snorkelling and generally having a great time. The return sea journey was unexpectedly rough but we managed to survive!

I know yall love quokkas but I feel like not enough people know that Rottnest Island / Wadjemup literally still has mass graves of Aboriginal men. The place is haunted af. 4000 Aboriginal men were imprisoned there and used for forced labour to build a prison. This went on for a century (1838-1931) and it’s still a painful history for a lot of Aboriginal people in Boorloo and across Western Australia. It’s literally on the Rottnest website. If you’re visiting for the cute quokkas just be respectful of the history.
