Norm Dixon, poet, gardener, dynamic community leader and communist, passed away on May 11. He was 90 years old.
His funeral and memorial on May 25 attracted more than 200 people and, true to Norm’s life’s work, it became an organising space against the corporatisation of the Woronora Caravan Park.
From the age of six, Norm lived in the Woronora Valley. He joined the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) in his early 1920s where he learned his organising skills.
Norm started work in Glebe as an apprentice woodwork machinist. After becoming an active unionist, he was black banned from a number of jobs.
