VICTOR, the friendly goat who oversaw Oliver’s Hill, has passed away aged 15. The goat often poked through the fence of his Frankston home for pats and food. His owner announced on Facebook last week that he had died. “Thank you to everyone who visited him for pats, food, and occasionally a headbutt. He was much loved by us and all of Frankston.”
Victor’s death has been mourned by people near and far. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “a Frankston icon has left us.” “The gatekeeper of Oliver’s Hill, the Greatest Of All Time, the legend that was Victor the Goat. Never shy of a pat, a head butt and a merry bleat, Victor was a very loved community member and will be missed,” he said.
