21.01.2022 Ita Buttrose had the audience in awe on Monday night at the ZestFest Oration; as she spoke of her thirst for knowledge, her passion for the media, her love of family and the importance of exercise for physical and mental well-being. She presented with grace, charm and wit and was flawless in her delivery of Ageing with attitude, growing older with zest and occasionally disgracefully. Questions and answers flowed openly as audience members both young and old, posed questions... that delved deeper into the drive behind the powerhouse that is Ita Buttrose. Ita then graciously launched ‘The Nature Strip’ 2020 Calendar (https://zestfestsa.org.au/the-nature-strip/) which features models aged 50-89 who posed naked at their favourite natural locations around SA! At the end of the event some of those that stayed to mingle were even lucky enough to meet her. Have a look at the gallery on the website for photos of the evening https://zestfestsa.org.au/what-a-night/ See more
