Flo Russell, long time political activist who joined the Communist Party of
Australia in the 1930s and was later elected to the central committee in
the 1950s, who was also a founding member of the Communist Party of
Australia (Marxist Leninist), has died in Melbourne in March 2002, aged 91
years.
On Saturday 1 June at 12 noon we will scatter Flo's ashes on the Yarra Bank
at Speakers Corner.
Afterwards, please join us for a bite to eat or a coffee at the Botannical
Gardens, another of Flo's favourite places.
The Yarra Bank area where Speakers Corner used to be is next to the
recently opened Birrarung Marr Park, on what was Batman Avenue. It is on
the north bank of the Yarra and to the west of the Rod Laver arena. It is
very different now because of all the redevelopment down there and the
Exhibition Street Extension.
Please see Melways Map 2F K6 or UBD Map 253 L16. Failing that give either
Maureen (9663 9439) Maree (9687 7686) or Mick (9478 4526) a ring.
Hope to see you then, where all Flo's family, friends and comrades can give
her a big farewell.
