Gregory Rigg also owned a house at Sorrento and shortly after moving onto Hindhope, he was sued by a Reverend who was forced to make hasty alternative arrangements because the house was accidentally double booked.

My months without internet has dimmed my memory. Gregory Rigg's cottage was actually in Portsea.

THE RIGGS.

There were four buildings in Rosebud associated with the Rigg family and all but one, have been demolished. The one most closely associated with them, Hindhope Villa (50 First Avenue, Rosebud) was demolished in 2017. The land bounded by First Avenue, Eastbourne Rd, Boneo Rd and Pt Nepean Rd (c/a 14, Wannaeue) was purchased from the Crown by Hugh Glass and by 1864, he also owned crown allotment 16 (including Sixth to Ninth avenue house blocks.) Due to scab in his sheep and a fortune spent on Flemington House and its grounds, Glass died insolvent and c/a 14 was split into lots of 29, 29, 20, 20 and 16 acres. One 29 acre block on c/a 14, and c/a 16, were owned by creditors while Ramsay Couper (Baronet) and his wife Nora established what became known as The Thicket (south of Hope St House blocks) on the southern half of c/a 14, the last three blocks.

The Randalls occupied a 29 acre block in c/a 14 by 1894, calling their farm HINDHOPE. By mid 1901, Greg and Eleanor Rigg occupied this farm and by 1902 they were leasing the other 29 acres held by creditors. On 5-9-1909, Eleanor Rigg became the owner of fifty seven acres three roods and five perches, being the land between First Avenue and Boneo Rd, south from the beach road to include today’s 50 First Avenue and all Hope St blocks. The Riggs were last assessed in 1911-12. John McComb (not McCombe!) farmed Hindhope in 1912-13 and in 1913-14, his name was crossed and replaced with Arthur A.Thomas, 19 Queen St (the developer after whom Thomas St was named.)

Evelyn Gough (nee Rigg) for some time was assessed on crown allotment 21, Rosebud Fishing Village, the second block west of Durham Place, next door to Emily Durham, the great grandmother of Judith Mavis Cock (better known as Judith Durham of The Seekers) and sometime before 1920, moved to another block, c/a 26 or 28, an unimportant detail at this time because neither dwelling is extant.

The only one left is the Boyd Cottage at 62 Rosebud Pde for which a heritage overlay was recommended by Graeme Butler in 2012 following evidence of its heritage value being presented by Ben Boyd and myself. * Following Simon Lloyd’s departure as Heritage Planning Officer this recommendation was overturned by his successor who blamed CONTEXT for the decision but an email from a CONTEXT researcher, whom I was assisting, made it plain whose decision it was. Colin Smith, author of MERRIC BOYD AND MURRUMBEENA, and I have since made efforts to see the cottage preserved.
