- Expo 88 was held in Brisbane, Australia during a six-month period between Saturday, 30 April 1988 and Sunday, 30 October 1988.
The ceremony was broadcast "live" at the start, and re-broadcast in September when the host broadcaster changed channels for network reasons.
This was used as part of a test transmission after midnight.
My favourite memory. I was working as a photographer for Quest Newspapers and had arranged to meet a journo for a vox pop (street poll) in front of the iconic Australia sign. An Asian tourist asked if I could take a picture with their camera.
This was way before the selfie concept. Of course, I obliged and immediately another couple approached me.. no problem I thought. I then looked back and saw a queue of hundreds of visitors waiting for my photography services.
I just bolted... no vox pop was done that day!
So many memories. I was 16 and we had ‘season passes’. I skipped school a couple of times so I could go see the live bands! I even remember the switch from Channel 0 to 10.
That Tonka add literally bought a tear to my eye
Thank you for uploading this it was like boarding a time machine back to my childhood. Love the ads too! I think I remember being frightened by the closing ceremony because the fireworks seemed so loud & huge. Be interested to know if anyone else remembers the fireworks not sure if it was Expo Closing or not ?
Thanks for the upload, my Aussie wife keeps telling me about this!
Watching this 35 years to the day. 30/4/23
This video should have over a million views by now.
Hahaha. No, they're more interested in Justin Bieber.
This is why I hate Zoomers. They Don't Remember Expo 88
I had the "great pleasure" of serving as show compare' with ozzie TV personality Mark Baretta for the BP Water Ski Sports Spectacular performed daily on the Brisbane River...for WORLD EXPO '88! Loved Australia then, miss it now...with Ric Burch, Brett Wing and all my oozie mates...we has a RIPPA of a good time...XXXX beer and KING PRAWNS!
aaaah fantastic memories :) aaand channel 10 were miles ahead of 9 or 7 in having live tv and technology.....and lovely to see the F1ll's and the Iroquois helicopters what a sight! and notice no barricades along the river front then....no-one managed to fall in (common sense back then)
Hello,
Thank you for uploading all this great footage! Can I please use some in an upcoming video? I will credit this video in the description and text on the video. Cheers
Yes, but the copyright is owned by the Ten Network Australia.
Wow..this took me back to my childhood. I was 8 the year Expo opened in Brisbane. Some of my fondest memories are from Expo. My mum helped train the performers for the Samoan pavilion in Samoan Siva(Dance)
@18m58s you can see two carved wooden statue's. One is male one is female. My little sister was the perfect height for her to swing on the Anatomically correct male statue's.. 🍆
Let's just say after he met my sister that day both statue's were female for a while until he could be restored. I had completely forgotten about it until I watched this video. If I could go back to any year of my childhood it would be 1988. Our city has lost its charm.
Wow thank you for sharing this i was 6yrs old i got lost i was a naughty girl hahaha...lucky the man on stilts found me and somehow he handed me back to my father ..Thnx again..xxx

Before Expo Brisbane was a slow sleepy market town. I thought it was too ambitious and would be a crazy expensive mistake.
I was wrong.
By 1990 Brisbane was a world city.
Sadly, despite being in Brisbane on a regular basis for work during 1988, I never visited Expo. My loss.
That looked amazing! Too bad I wasn’t born until 1991.
Aah yes, when DDQ-10(4-5a) in Toowomba purchased TV0 in Brisbane in '88 and swapped channels. Sad one is gone, more or less, not long til Ten is gone too ......
This is amazing.
We were there in March 88.
I was 8 years old and my parents lost me or I lost them lol I remember a robot in Canada section good old days that are gone
Takes me back
Bring World Expo to Sydney!!!!!!
I wonder if it was influenced by EPCOT Center in Florida which opened 6 years earlier. The monorail certainly reminds me of it.
Such professionalism on display. X Ten
Love the duck at 15:51. What was his/her name?
That duck is a Platypus, native Australian animal. His name was Oz.
Noted
Mr Fish from Lift Off!
It looks tacky lol i was there and was bored loved the concert with john farnham.
Good damn, it was a sexual time.
Its a shame the aspect ratio is all out of whack.
2:10 wot no social distancing?!
@Austin's pup House What's Covid ?
This was the last 1980’s. We didn’t have the internet or mobile phones or digital TV and FM radio was new for commercial radio. CH0 became CH10 in Brisbane and CD’s we’re new to the house. I got my first CD player in 1988.

All the images are fat, stretched out side ways. The clip has been uploaded as wide screen 16:9, when it is old school 4:3.
Yen far through there. No.
Great historical footage but Kerri-Anne really detracts from this. She seems a little snobby. Everytime she talks I just want to hit mute.
The river looks like coke lol
