On Friday 18th March a plaque was installed in Cleve Garden (in Fitzroy St) to remember Boom Boom. More than 50 people attended to recognise his specialness.When he died on 8th June last year a spontaneous memorial was made in Safeway carpark. It’s still there.

When Boom Boom was alive, he would do his rounds every morning checking on the homeless people who lived in St Kilda. He’d check to see if they were alive or if they needed help…. blackfellas and whitefellas alike.

He always said “There is no community without unity”.
