7 News Flashbacks | South Bank Parklands

7 News flashback for 20 years of South Bank in 2009 and 25 years in 2017.
The South Bank Parklands are located at South Bank in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The parkland, on the transformed site of Brisbane's World Expo 88, was officially opened to the public on 20 June 1992.
The South Bank Parklands are located on the southern bank of the Brisbane River, at South Bank, directly opposite the City. The parklands are connected to the City by the Victoria Bridge at the northern end, and to Gardens Point by the Goodwill Bridge at the southern end.
The parklands consist of a mixture of rainforest, water, grassed areas and plazas as well as features such as the riverfront promenade, the Streets Beach, the Grand Arbour, the Courier Mail Piazza, the Nepal Peace Pagoda, the Wheel of Brisbane, restaurants, shops and fountains. The parklands are also home to the Queensland Conservatorium.
South Bank and its parklands are one of Brisbane's most important cultural precincts and they regularly host large scale festivals and events. Approximately 11,000,000 people visit South Bank Parklands each year.

I went that opening weekend in 92. The beach was the only thing I liked. It had a weird boat ride but that was boring too (probably why its gone.) The rest seemed underwhelming.I was obviously comparing it to Expo 88 and of course it was going to come up short next to that. I think when Grey street got developed with an Imax and restaurants, the convention centre opened in 95 and the 'goodwill bridge' in 2001, that South Bank worked.

Anyone know the name of that Channel 7 reporter at 1:57? I know he had been a reporter for years in the late 80s, but never knew his name. Had a real good voice for radio

Is there any footage of the concert on the night of the South Bank opening?
