About this audio guide
This guide to the Bon Scott statue at Fremantle's Fishing Boat Harbour follows the AC/DC frontman from his upbringing in this port town to a London night in nineteen eighty that ended his life at thirty-three. It traces the ordinary decision that went catastrophically wrong, and the doubts one biographer has since raised about how his death was investigated. You will also hear why his hometown chose a working harbour, and not a concert stage, to remember him.
