Growing up in Fitzroy thumbnail image.

Marlene (Scerri) Young gives us a picture of what it was like to grow up in Fitzroy in the 1950s. She lovingly tells of the closeness to her extended family, the friends coming to stay over and the strong sense of community, especially the Christmas parades down Smith Street.
