Clip description
Three women walk along the shoreline of an isolated beach. They then cartwheel across the sand. The same women are shown later on, wearing different clothes, walking through scrub along a fence line. They climb over the fence.
Curator’s notes
The clothing worn by the women in this clip gives an idea of the fashions of the time. One woman wears a full length floral-print pantsuit. Another wears overalls and a third wears flared pants with suspenders. Similarly, their walking gear through the scrub consists of dark coloured three-quarter length pants. This attire allows the women to move freely (and cartwheel!) without losing their femininity.
