I live in Brisbane and although is wasn’t alive in 1988 to see expo 88 I’m so proud of expo and Brisbane at the time especially because expo88 marks the turning point from the Joh Bejke Peterson era to the start of Brisbane now and the transition it’s made from sleepy country town to major world centre
