[@jokidd4005]

I enjoyed seeing our pretty City&all the people that stood out!

[@ohsorrypluto]

I was a fan of 96FM myself, not so much 6PM. What a great place to grow up in. I was aged 8 to 18 in the 80s in Perth, I remember all of this

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

In the early 80s, probably because of the '83 America's Cup, Australian culture was all the rage in the United States. It's almost as if Americans "discovered" Australia. The most popular bands in America were Men at Work, AC/DC, INXS, and Icehouse. Australian movies like Breaker Morant, The Year of Living Dangerously, Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee, and Gallipoli were very popular. ESPN was showing the old VFL Aussie Rules league. And Australia became the most popular overseas tourist destination for American travelers. Those that could even emigrated to Australia. For a brief time, America wanted to be Australia. I don't think any other country held such fascination for so many Americans as Australia did.

[@amazonchiq]

Allyson Auld The worst thing about the 2010s?: The Hancocks 😂

[@stephenvelden295]

No, the worst thing about the 80's was all that lame music. And cars turned into plastic piles of junk!

[@stephengrocott3917]

loathsome

[@LauraSeabrook]

Roster stations!

[@deanknoote114]

I’ve just reposted this video and they’ve stripped it, my share of this didn’t make it ! Who is controlling this ?

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Yorkie. He ran his show on Radio 6PM by himself. Not like the useless lot now that need others to hold their hands.

[@barrybrant3905]

Umm there was implants back then.

[@kevinaylesbury1969]

80s wasn’t all that wonderful in Perth unemployment and poor wages were a main concern , once they closed the midland meat works a lot of people really struggled , but of coarse that was the working class areas , so get it right tell the whole story

[@kezi7043]

From my recollections and personal experience I don't recall having any shortage of work. Not my experience this but if anything (perhaps due to WA Inc etc? ) I do remember a Lot of people being on the dole whilst living with a partner on the dole AND working at the same time, no paying tax, also plenty of work with "cash under the table".

[@ian7033-qj9wg]

Yeah, there were a lot of haves and just as much have nots.

[@velaphitshabalala2912]

Could have been great. Spoiled by the music.

[@louisdimov8956]

YES

Adelaide's more freindly than perth

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Now that is misinformation. All the best from Lake Joondalup, Perth Western Australia.

[@robertfoster7807]

@@chuckmaddison2924 have you lived in adeliade i taliking the 1980s adeliade was more freindly than perth .Perths even less friendly now

[@chuckmaddison2924]

@robertfoster7807 Actually, my daughter went there about 10 years ago . She was so terrified she called to come and get her. She stayed in Davoren Park.. Her friend told her there was a robbery and shooting a couple of hundred meters down her road.

[@robertfoster7807]

@@chuckmaddison2924 its quiet possible adelaide gone down i was taliking about the 1980s in adeliade i found adeliade more freindly than perth in the 1980s and south australia more friendly than western australia.Western australia has always been the biggest police nany state.All the big cities in australia are less safe the 50 years ago..Probaly related to our disaster immigration policies in australia

[@allywynter8573]

Hancocks built this state

[@jstone247]

No they did not. Convenient mythology.

[@ACDZ123]

They built only what profited them ..same with the cloughs, Roberts etc
