Moon Landing - too young!

Whitlam dismissal - at primary school. It was talked about and I can remember my teacher coming back to class late and with tears in his eyes!

Elvis' Death - watching TV and a news flash came over. I remember it was freezing that day. Much disbelief in my home!

Diana's Death - a Saturday lunch time when a friend rang and told me - I thought it was a joke.

Freeman's Gold - watching alone in Loxton SA. Felt inspired and relieved (as she did!)
