The media lead-up in Adelaide to the event was humungous for that era. It was a school day and I figured I gotta' see this.
Instead of cycling the 3miles (5Km) to school that morning I wagged it. Just had to see the event.
My sister, 18mths my junior, did the right thing and went to school that morning.
Just before they started televising my sister walks in. I thought, "Oh oh, she's gonna' dob me in."
Well, everyone was sent home from school to watch the landing.
YESsss!!.. And watch it we did on monochrome (B&W) TV.
