Melbourne has lost a special woman dear to many people in the gay community. Early Saturday morning on May 12, 2001, 67 year old Jan Hillier was killed by fire that engulfed her home. There is a good chance she was probably trying to rescue her much loved pet dogs. Jan was highly thought of in Gay Melbourne, she was an icon. She teamed up with Doug Lucas to run POKEYS for more than 13 years. The venue featured Melbourne's Top Drag performers. The Sunday night shows began in the late 70's and continued through till the early 90's.
