Florence Broadhurst

Florence Maud Broadhurst (July 28, 1899 - October 15, 1977) was an Australian designer and businesswoman whose 1977 murder remains a mystery. The complex, eccentric and talented woman who was Florence Broadhurst was born in rural Queensland, Australia in 1899. By the time of her death in 1977 Florence Broadhurst had lived and worked in Australia, Asia, and England; performed professionally on stage; been befriended by royalty; exhibited her paintings; and started an internationally successful wallpaper company whose success was based upon her own designs.
