(if you have missed Part 1, Click Here!)
This is Part 2 of the Playlist which will be actually divided in to three "mini parts". The first is "Expo through The World's Eyes" which talks about the international media and Expo (and gives you a look at what Australia is through the eyes of a Alaskan news crew which has never been to Australia, who came down to Expo for Alaska's "National Day") The second mini-part is "Expo Memories- Advertising, Pavilions and World Expo Park" The third mini-part is "Expo Remembered- Retrospectives on the Exposition"

Expo. Brisbane Style- Part 1 TVQ-0/10 and Expo 88.

Ensemble We'll Être visible Les Mondial!-Together We'll Show The World! The promotional slogan for the only world exposition in Australia during the 20th Century in the two official languages (French and English) of the BIE-Paris (the governing body of world expositions).

Countdown to the Expo 88 Youtube Playlist reveal has now begun.

With the 45 hectare campus on Brisbane's northern suburbs going to be vacant soon I thought I would give some of my suggestions.

Thirty years ago a icon stood. The "old" Regent on Queen Street. A single theatre was inside. Cinemas, theatres, picture palaces call them what you will they all have a sense of granduar. But in 1978 the first fight occurred. People marching, waving placards, blowing trumpets trying valiantly to save The Regent. The people lost and won.
