In 1980 I met Bonita Ely in Rundle Street Mall Adelaide
at a performance titled Murray River Punch (1980).
She was wearing a twin set and pearls as she offered
passersby a lethal cocktail containing a recipe of
contents drawn from the Murray River. It was a time
when the women’s art movement was a proactive
force and my head was full of feminist ideas. I had
no knowledge there was a problem with Australia’s
landscape, yet from 1977 the Murray River was showing
signs of stress with higher than normal levels of salt.
