It started innocently enough. In preparation for our launch of Don Dunstan, Intimacy and Liberty, we’ve been throwing some costume ideas around the office. Seventies, defs. This is the man who made those hot pink shorts so famous (see the book cover for proof). There’s also that mini yukata from his resignation. The paisley blazer at his 70th. Or whatever it is that’s going on here.

How would we ever live up to his sartorial standards?

And then our very own Michael Deves dug out this little gem:

This was promptly followed by Liz’s adorable schoolgirl photo from around the same time:

To top it all, Michael Bollen pulled out this doozy:

This is but a taste of some of the delights that will be on show at the launch of Don Dunstan, Intimacy and Liberty on the 22 May. Yes, we will be dressing up, and yes, it will be a riot – come join us for the fun!
