Safari suit pub crawl 2006
Posted by Jen on 19 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: Safari suit pub crawl, 2006
Safari 2006 happened last Friday, 17 November. Some people (Marcia) are a lot more organised than your safari web mistress (I am getting over the excitement of being inducted into the Hall of Fame), so below is a link to a montage Marcia’s done which she’s put on YouTube.
I’ll be putting up photos from Friday night over the next few weeks or so. Please, if you have any contact me and we’ll arrange copies via CD or email for me to put on the web.

Not sure what to wear to the next safari suit event? This video (AOL In2TV - Retro Runway 1970s) on YouTube might give you some ideas.
Safari suits in parliament

It seems just wearing a safari suit if you’re a politician can cause all sorts of problems. Don Dunstan is fondly (in some circles) remembered for wearing his safari suit to parliament in South Australia in the 1970s.
Jack Melloy in Queensland was thrown out of State Parliament in 1975 for wearing his safari suit when long sleeves were the order of the day.
His granddaughter Vicki Darling has resurrected his safari suit, gravy stain and all, but she’s not convinced that they should make a comeback.

Thanks to Paul for the tipoff. Paul’s question was ‘Is it a crime to wear a tie with a safari suit?’ I’m not sure of the answer to that one, but tell us what you think by leaving a comment.
