- “G’day folks, welcome to my Famous Graves Down under series. However unusual it seems, it’s actually quite relaxing to walk around cemeteries taking in the history of their residents as well as the beautiful landscapes and majestic old graves. So I figured while I’m touring the graveyards and cemeteries throughout Australia, why not document it and bring you all along for the journey. Hopefully it inspires you to get out and explore the countryside, cemetery or no cemetery.

THANK YOU MATE FOR DOING THIS FOR A GREAT MAN, ICON, ROCK N' ROLL AUSSIE SINGER ,MR JOHNNY O'KEEFE LOVED THIS MAN , HE ONCE IN FESTIVAL HALL MELBOURNE GAVE ME FRONT ROW TICKETS TO SEE HIM AFTER I HELPED TO UNLOAD ALL THE GEAR FOR HIS PERFORMANCE THAT NITE , NOW R.I.P.CHEER'S !!
That’s awesome mate! Mum and Dad used to play his stuff so he was part of my childhood. Still remember hearing him from dad’s shed when we had bbq’s lol.
Thanks for watching and the kind feedback 🙂
Thanks so much for that great video, to see that they gave him his own special place with a little cross was nice to see. John was a manic person, but he helped all those who asked for anything, if he could give to them he did. Ahead of his time and sometimes his own worst enemy but he did try, without him there would be no Australian Rock n Roll icons as we know them....he didn't do too bad for a small bloke who once said "You can mock me and you may boo me, but you all paid your money too come and see me"....before starting his rendition of his famous song Shout....I didn't get to see him in the flesh but that my friends is what legends are made of. Peace and Love to everyone.....
Thanks so much for an awesome comment! Johnny IS Australia’s most iconic rock and roller and a true entertainment legend! I really enjoyed doing this video as I learned a lot. Please forgive the error in dates 🙏
Thanks again for you’re viewing! 🤙
They also did a mini-series on his life & Terry Serio played Johnny.
Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks I’ll have to check it out 😀
Great video, and another wonderful actress. John Hargreaves also happens to be buried at Woranora cemetery as well.
Yeah I’ve got a list of people there. It’s just up the road from me so I go there quite often lol
I really enjoy watching your , will you be doing more? ❤❤
Hi Glenda, thanks for your kind words. Yes I am planning on more content. I’ve had other commitments but I am planning a video very soon and then I’m hoping for some more regular content. Stay tuned 🙏
Wonderful presentation, very fitting tribute of a great entertainer.
Thanks sir! He’s such a legend! 🤙
The memories this brings back to me ~ JOK what can I say! a true legend! C'mon everybody its 6 o'clock! I have very good memories indeed! Thanks for that walk down my past Lach!
Long live Rock n Roll....great video and what a legend Johnny was 🙌
Another amazing video 👍❤️🐝
my friend is buried in block 15. I admit haven't been there for a while. Must go soon
Great Channel my mate 👍
New content soon. Exciting 2023 ahead 😊
Thanks for making this. Really enjoyed it!
No problems. I enjoyed visiting J O’K… 🤙
Cheers TJ, presume the cemetery is in Sydney. Don't think many people look past the glitzy Shout musical presently. Behind the fasade was a bloke with a scarred shnoz who absolutely took fans to town probably most recently @ Sunbury. This country has many Kings living & not. There's only 1 King who could shout.
Yeah mate he’s at Macquarie Park in Ryde. He’s got such an interesting life. Indeed one of the great kings of entertainment 🤙
Great research and video 😮❤️
@@leslystrawbridge2708 I got the “date” wrong. Not the dates… while we’re in the correcting mode…. Yeah?
Btw ~ I really loved the Echidna ~ so cute! Along with the Kookaburra, it is cool to have our native animals that you see out there!
😊😢🎉😂😊
love your intro and editing style 👌
Thank you 🙏
really fantastic tribute to JOK mate 👍
Oh thanks! Yeah he was a large s and it was a lot of fun filming this one. 🤙
He was guest unveiling at the Elvis memorial at Melbourne general cemetery shortly before he died. Gone too soon both of them.
At least they left behind awesome music for future generations to enjoy! ♥️
He died the same way his Idol Elvis died.
Horse feathers.
What do you mean?
@@TJ_Beam I was there/here when J OK died, I was here when he had a horrendous car accident. John went through the windscreen at a time before safety glass and tore up his face dreadfully, as a matter of fact there is some where a documentary or movie that shows the actor playing John with his nose well to the left of its proper position a scare running from centre left of his for head down his nose and forking to ends on both cheeks. One side of that scare had flesh bunched of his for head and the other side had the same under an eye, the doctors must have sewn him up so quickly to stop the bleeding they had no time to worry about placement. It took three plastic surgery to put it right. John was always an up tight sort but the crash effected him mentally and it took strong seditives to settle him to sleep. His wife, some years later on the mid day show channel 9 stated that the night before he died she and John had the worst fight of their marriage. John was walking out of the kitchen as she cleaned up, be gone for a couple of minutes and then return to resume the argument before leaving again. He was dead the next morning. The autopsy said he had three time the recommended amount of seditive in his system three times was the number of times he left the kitchen and then came back. The autopsy said suicide but his wife said after the car accident he could forget any thing and every thing and she was sure he simply forgot he had take thre tablets twice and took them a third time. It was a long time ago but im sure my memory is at least fairly accurate.
Don lane buried there too i think??
He sure is.
I would like to see Don Lanes grave please.
Famous paedo. Look it up😉
Sorry no like thumb but rest assured it was worthy of a like or two.
Thanks? I think? Lol
I am curious to know why you did not mention Buddy Holly and Ivan and their version of Real Wild Child. This started the whole thing off for Johnny overseas.
Must have slipped my mind. Sorry.
NO NEED TO BE SORRY MATE WHAT YOU DID WAS ALL ABOUT THE GREAT ROCK N' ROLL ENTERTAINER OF THAT ERA ,1950 PLUS,MR JOHNNY O'KEEFE,NOBODY ELSE ,CHEER'S !!@@TJ_Beam
