Love,Lust and Lies

Their names are Josie, Diana and Kerry and their suburban lives have become rivetting social history in Love, Lust and Lies, a documentary by Gillian Armstrong.
The three Adelaide women – Diana Doman, Kerry Carlson and Josie Petersen – all attended the recent packed world premiere of the film held in the Palace Nova cinema in Hindley Street, Adelaide.
Love, Lust and Lies is the combination of five films from Gillian Armstrong dating from 1976 covering the women’s life passages through dating, marriage, having babies, rearing children, divorce and scandal. The SA Film Corporation was the first to commit to funding the film.
When the women were all 14 year olds, Gillian Armstrong had walked into a youth drop-in centre in Thebarton in Adelaide’s western suburbs, seeking some girls for a short 20-minute film about being 14-year-olds.

I read with interest your article in 50 Something describing your trip from Adelaide to Darwin on The Ghan. I was particularly interested when you talked about the bushland around Kimba. I am sure you meant Pimba. I lived in Kimba when I was a very young child and your reference enticed me look it up on the Net to see if it has changed in the 60 odd years since I left. The latest census showed that it has 636 residents which is much as I remember it.
Incidentally, I was maried in Adelaide in 1962 and my English husband and I went to Alice Springs for our honeymoon. We travelled by train to Port Pirie, the bud car from Port Pirie to Marree and then by the old Ghan to Alice Springs. Quite an experience for my husband not long out from the “green and pleasant land”.
