Bob and Blanche find graves together

FORMER prime minister Bob Hawke and wife Blanche d'Alpuget have picked out their graves side by side.

Ms d'Alpuget said the decision to make arrangements for their passing came after the well publicised fight over the grave site of former South African leader Nelson Mandela.

"I went and bought us two graves this week, side by side, at Macquarie Park," Ms d'Alpuget told Fairfax's Good Weekend magazine.

"We both want to be cremated, so we talked through which city, because his relations are in graves in other states.

"I was thinking of having my ashes thrown into Sydney Harbour, but then I thought I really want the ashes to be beside Bob and he obviously has to have a spot where people can come and look.

"Once you're dead, you have no say over what happens and I don't want the family to be left in a quandary over what to do with one or both of us."

Ms d'Alpuget said the graves will be engraved with the words she and Hawke have agreed on.

She said she understood that the Hawke children didn't invite her to Hazel Hawke's memorial service but Mr Hawke told the magazine Blanche was "a little bit hurt".

Ms d'Alpuget and the former Labor leader married in 1995 after a long love affair.

D'Alpuget said it was not she who destroyed his marriage, but his "literally hundreds of affairs".

She said she did not steal him.

"It's very simple, we fell in love."
