44 years since giant Matilda winked at Australia

On 30 September 1982, Brisbane opened the Commonwealth Games with one of the most gloriously Australian ceremonies imaginable: a kookaburra call, a massive 13-metre mechanical kangaroo called Matilda doing a lap of QEII Stadium and winking at the crowd, before her pouch opened and little “joeys” came running out.

Even better, 6,500 schoolkids formed a map of Australia — without Tasmania.
OOPS!!

I'd take my plastic football to Pratten Park which was at the top of my street and kick goals barefoot until the groundsman would inevitably yell at me to get off the ground.
