In the late 1990s, Canberra’s community radio station 2XX celebrated International Women’s Day with a live poolside broadcast which included bands, novelty races, poetry, self-defence lessons and ‘gossip and mythmaking’.

This colourful photograph by Tina Fiveash promotes the event with a sense of playfulness and joy, as the models float in the pool: shades on, adorned in plastic fruit and holding a vintage radio set.
