One of the joys of living in the Australian bush in those days was that we only got the ABC broadcast. Never seen one day cricket live on TV until 1986. At least there was no ads even if we did have to put up with Norman May
Actually I was listening to "Nugget" the other day broadcasting on the radio on the Bejiing Olympics. He made the point that Australia went into 7 swimming events with the world record holder and never won gold. No Australian male won gold in swimming at all.
I suppose the Government will throw more money at it hoping for better results in London same as they did back in 1976 when Australia did not win a single gold medal.Total bullshit IMHO. Sad to see in a resources rich country like Australia that many places especially in the bush don't have proper medical facilities, the roads are no good, we have water shortages etc etc
I'll get off my soapbox now
