Once thrust into public scandal by her affair with Hawke, she defied criticism with wit and resilience, carving a path as a journalist in Jakarta during Indonesia’s chaos and later as the author of the bestselling biography that helped propel Hawke to power. Even amid fame and scrutiny, she lived richly—sharing deep conversations about mortality with friends, viewing death as a release from earthly knots and seeing love as humanity’s truest essence. Her final wishes were vivid: a red-lined coffin, a blue-and-white exterior, and “When the Saints Go Marching In” played at her funeral. She was, above all, a woman who lived fully, shaping Australia’s soul through her words and presence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
