She’s one of Australia’s most prolific and popular designers, and
yet not many people know her name, let alone her audacious life
story.

Florence Broadhurst was from regional Queensland but people who
met her later in life, thought she was English aristocrat.

Today she’s known for her wallpaper designs that cemented her in
Australian design history.

But a shadow lingers over her legacy; her unsolved murder in
1977.
