Riding bikes and trikes down the car park at Meteorology House in Spring Hill – we used to live at the house behind it and it was a great play area for city kids. Now it’s all high-fenced
I came to the Commonwealth Games in 1982 as a very small schoolchild. It was the first time I can remember coming to Brisbane, and we came with school, so it was exciting to do something without my parents. I still remember my awe at seeing the massive Matilda kangaroo that turned and winked.
Visiting my grandparents house in St Lucia and Expo 88.
Mum would take me into the mall every christmas and we’d go to the myer centre and look at the lights and christmas decorations.
Topps! I wish they didn’t take it away to replace it with a cinema, so boring! It made Brisbane unique.. bring back the pirate ship and dragon coaster!
The Myer Christmas windows! They were amazing 25-30 years ago.
Making up stories every time we drove over the Story Bridge.
The smell of Mulberry bushes/trees in summer.
Ahh……
