Day 8: AC/DC's Bon Scott

We visited Fremantle, Australia today.  This is where Bon Scott, the lead singer of AC/DC, grew up and was buried.  We got to go to the cemetery where he peacefully lays today, along with see the statue honoring him at the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour.



Scott’s gravestone:

RONALD BELFORD BON SCOTT
BORN KIRRIEMUIR 9th FEBRUARY 1980

SONG WRITER AND DEAD SINGER WITH AC/DC
THE WORLD’S GREATEST ROCK N ROLL LEGEND

Fremantle Cemetery established in 1899.  The earliest headstone recorded is Mary Anne Morrell’s which goes back to 1832!


This statue of Bon Scott is at the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour in Western Australia.  Bon Scott put Australia on the world’s map of music, which was very important for Australia.
