Lauder Heinrich Rogge, with his sixty dogs and a stranded schooner
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.
