Wonderful Waratahs

Wonderful Waratahs

I’ve always been fascinated by the waratah, that majestic floral symbol of NSW. Rising from the ashes of bush fires, it provides us with a powerful symbol of hope.

I was first seduced by their splendour when I slipped into some taffeta frocks created by my old friend Linda Jackson who has long been obsessed by these stunning natives.

I wore them in the bush (we’d always go swagging out under the stars with a ballgown rolled up under the pillow) and I wore them on the catwalk.

Now I’ve used the flower as the theme for the first in a series of videos called ‘Nelly’s Night Cap’. Think Grim Fairy Tales with an irreverent, contemporary twist. Course language is contained within so if it offends, please refrain from viewing. If not, I’d love to know what you think.

Here’s the story of the Wonderful Waratah
