Blue Lake By David Sornig
Lauder Heinrich Rogge, with his sixty dogs and a stranded schooner
Jack Peacock, “The King of Dudley Flats”
David Sornig tells the stories of three characters from the “Flats”, in his book “Blue Lake”. Jack Peacock, Scrapper and dubbed King of the Dudley Flats. Lauder, a German living on his stranded boat with sixty dogs. And Elsie Williams, a Bendigo-born singer. The book reveals histories that are hidden from view that paint a more complex image of the rise and fall of people’s fortunes.
