Today is our great state's 181st birthday.

If you can recall 1986, you'll no doubt recall this unusual character who helped celebrate our 150th.

Jubilee Wombat. What were they thinking? :lol:

I remember getting a coin at primary school for the occasion. I reckon I was in reception.

Jubilee Wombat attended the SHC school fete that year, with Wendy Patching in tow.

In that second photo I don't know if JW is standing to the right of (a) "C'mon Kids" and "Channel Niners" host Robin Roenfeldt or (b) former North Adelaide and Brisbane Bears player Matthew Campbell.

There was lots of little wombats at the half time show of the SANFL Grand Final.

Don't know who he is but looks like he's wearing that staple of junior cricketers, PUMA Barbados,. Classic white 80s shoes...

You mean it's Wobby Wobby Woenfelt :lol:

I think I still have the commemorative coin (actually, come to think of it - that was 1988 for the bicentennial, I was in year 10) - my brother, who was born in 1988, also got a special coin I think for being a bicentennial baby

I dont think it looks like Robin R, but it could just be a bad angle perhaps.

That’s definitely not Robin R

Think you're right, Robin was a fair bit thinner IIRC.

Post by **Footy Chick** » Thu Dec 28, 2017 2:27 pm

Looks a bit like Daryl Cotton actually

It looks a lot like former SA cricketer Glenn Bishop.

Not him. Had his blond hair until he died.

It's definitely not Dame Bees Knees!

Buying Smash Hits and the Womens Weekly in January for the cool school book labels, then covering your books in brown paper and plastic with a collage cut out from magazine pics.

Then contact came along ~X(
