Po Chun Fung, known as Bobo, is often to be found dancing in Rundle Mall. Bobo used to dance with husband, Max Gordge.
Originally from Hong Kong, Bobo was visiting her daughter in Adelaide when she met Max. They clicked. While he was visiting her in Hong Kong he was inspired by the street dancers he saw there. On his return he started dancing in the Mall. He became an icon, not just for his exuberant dancing style but for his flamboyant attire. When Bobo married Max, she was at first reluctant to join in, but seeing how much people loved Max and how much joy his dancing brought them she was convinced. And people loved her just as much.
In December 2018, not long before his 83rd birthday, Max passed away peacefully at home. Bobo didn’t intend to continue, but so many people came to the mall and paid tribute to Max, that she decided to keep going. Now she intends to dance for as long as her body will allow her.
