I was at school in the country, Inglewood Vic. The whole school was assembled in the hall to watch this magnificent event. I remember it so clearly. The static the delay, the excitement and the concern. It was a mixed bag of emotions, even though I was only 6 years old. We didn't have a good TV at home and living in the country on a farm meant that one one could really be sent home or have the day off anyway.
