Someone in Rundle Mall [?Coles] sold "Galaxy Sandwiches" - cheese and bacon sandwiches, battered and deep fried.
Not PC with the health police, but I loved them.

Elvis is that you?????

i miss the buttery at john martins and those wonderful rest rooms (that were as big as my current house) were super posh with lovely furniture and nice lav ladies to help you out too...

Dazzle Land was a huge flop from memory!

I never went there but can remember Marine Land was all the rage at one stage in Adelaide in the 80's, last year when I went to Coffs Harbour and the Pet Porpoise Pool there was a Seal there that came from Marine Land.

You mean "Dazzleland" in the Myer Centre?

When they first opened Dazzleland and released the tokens, they had Myer spelt incorrectly on them. (MEYR. or was it MYRE? ) I think I still have one somewhere, I'll have to hunt for it!
........

Just before Dazzleland opened they tested the railway/rollercoaster using crash test dummies and they all got decapitated!

The Buttery LMAO I used to love that place (but had completely forgotten about it) .. Same with the "Red Apple" at Target.

BTW Smacdaddy, those Hexy Pies sound good .. Does the Roll need to be buttered??

[Footy Chick]

I dont remember the Buttery but I do remember Hollies at Kmart - they still have one in Horsham!

Whatever happened to Stereo AM that was advertised in the early 80s to rival FM? I can remember some special radios had to be bought to enjoy it and 5KA might have been one of the first to broadcast in it?

The top 20 (or 40) each night with Scott McBain ( I think Greg Clarke did it for a while as well)

Also liked watching the music show , was it Music express? the one with Grant Cameron?

I thought it was the nightly top ten, I used to sit there with my tape recorder to try and get all the songs I liked, always ran out of tape space 1/2 way through the number 1 song.

I used to listen to the Top 10 and I remember having a piece of plastic with 1 to 10 on it with the 5AD logo, and you used a chinagraph pencil to write the Top 10 each night, then rub them off and start again the next night!

Wegs, I remember the AM Stereo 'wave'. It lasted about 6 weeks I reckon. I bugged mum for a stereo AM alarm clock, but one didn't ever come out.

I also remember listening to the SANFL teams be read out on a Thursday night on one of the AM stations mum and dad listened to.

Trax The Music...Music Express...back when local stations made local music shows.

[gadj1976]

Cricket sticker books, Ray Bright in the Gold Foil, priceless, my mate still has a couple of them, fully filled.

Ditto, I've got two or three I reckon. The joy of unwrapping a gold sticker was the best!!!! I also have the complete set of Wacky Plaks somewhere too.

Was that the one with Andrew Peters (mullet) hosting it, that used to be simulcast through SAFM?

["Munch Lunches"

I can't believe no one remembers these.

They came into effect at schools around the same time that the "Mucn Bunch" Books were released.

there would be a different healthy lunch each day, which for some reason always included a pack of sultanas (yuk)

Still got some of the Munch Bunch books, the young lad loves them

getting milk delivered to your front door in the glass bottles and hoping you were the first to open one to get the dollop of cream on the top

when roller skating was the rage, used to skate regularly at the modbury heights rink (now a church I think) in the late 70's, and they used to have allnighters at the hindley st rink, we used to leave there at 6am and skate down the mall to catch our bus

[godoubleblues]

The guys who would sell the News in the afternoon at stobie pole locations. You would be driving along and up ahead you'd see the familiar sight of the News Masthead in a rack about 8ft up a stobie pole with that afternoon's headline. At the bottom of the pole was someone selling the paper - usually waving it (folded) in and out as if he was marching on the spot and swinging one arm. You'd then pull over, buy the paper, pay your money and return to your journey home. There was always one just opposite the entrance the Centennial Park....speaking of which

Drive-in Theatres! Remember the one at Pasadena - after they sold it they shot a fil on the land adjacent - a mock plane crash that stacks of people went to see 'explode' for the film. Did anyone go to that and does anyone remember the name of the film?

Ford and Holden Jackets

Duffle Coats

Your time is a little out, Squawk - I remember the mock plane crash well, we went up to see it, but this was around 1980. Someone wrote in to "Whats Your Problem" a few months ago about this same topic, but cannot remember the name of the movie for the life of me. The Drive-In closed a fair few years after this though. The park you're referring to is still there, its just next to the concrete embankment, driving out of the city down south.

I too can remember the filming of the movie and I reckon it was called Survivor based on a James Herbert novel and starred Jenny Agutter
I just had a look on IMDB and this sounds right, made in 1981 in Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills

[Psyber]

I dont remember the Buttery but I do remember Hollies at Kmart - they still have one in Horsham!

The only eatery I found when first looked for food at Horsham was the White Hart Inn - now we eat there each time we come to Adelaide.
