The Saturday morning cartoons were once called "Hey Hey It's Saturday", until Daryl Somers and his abomination invaded our screens on a Saturday night and the 'toons had to change. Used to watch it in Radio Rentals across from Mum and Dads shop in Parabanks.
I recall my uncle in the milk carton regatta, they were boasting of using foam inside all of the cartons, against the rules, in the hope that it would lead them to victory. They cartons floated just fine, but they didn't stick them together very well and wound up swimming back to shore with milk cartons everywhere. Fun times.

You're kidding, you no like Hey Hey on Sat nights? Used to luv having a few grogs and laughs watching it with mates before hitting the town - Red Faces was an Aussie institution!!
As for Winky Dink, was always spewing I never got on the show to have a crack at that buzzy wirey game thingy they used to have ... Still bitter about it actually, hope to be able to move on one of these years

My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit

bloody hell! a current affairs program featuring articles about things happening in SA!......
I think State Affair was a locally made show, so they did a fair bit of local stuff, probably the 80's version of Today Tonight, but not quite as "sensational"

Tony Dickinson (I think that's who he was) reading the news.
Mike Coward's match reports in the Tiser (now making outstanding cricket documentaries these days after a couple of decades in papers at The Age, then the SMH and latterly the Australian).
Market gardens at the base of the foothills in the Newton, Athelstone area. (best result ever to get vegies for tea that were in the ground an hour before you ate them, once you become friends with gardeners)
Roger Woodcock -- 602 goals from a forward flank makes you a legend.
Ahhh...did that bring back some memories. Watching the clips of old ads on that link was also a real trip down memory lane. The Alulite ad is a chuckle for the fashions and the old jingle ("Think aluminium, think Al-ulite!"!). The John Martin's ad afterwards was another I hadn't seen for years (Johnnies is another institution sadly forgotten...those old lifts with the brass gates inside).
Not to mention when the MTT buses used to go to Kirkcaldy and Oldfield - two parts of Adelaide long forgotten...
Can you guess where I'm calling from, the Las Vegas Hilton...
