Sandon Point Warrior, Waratah Rose, Dies

Human rights activist Rosemarie Gillespie was, in her own words, no stranger to danger.

Her passion gook her to the frontline of many conflicts and often face to face with military forces.

The Port Kembla grandmother, also known as Waratah Rose, passed away at the Melbourne home of one of her daughters after a stroke in the early hours of Monday morning, aged 69.
