@sparksfly44 To be fair the people are 9's network stars at the time - whilst Nine has had plenty of stars from a non-anglo saxon background, I can't think of a single one that isn't white. In fact over all 3 of the commercial networks I can only think of Ernie Dingo (7's great outdoors).
memories! I was 4 back then, and it's only now I notice there's only white people in ch 9's representation of australia in 1996. But back then I loved this montage - it inspired my love for Australia and it's beautiful landscapes as my adopted home.

Weird of them to have made a 16:9 (so to speak)

@ThePuraboy "Jamie Durie at 0:31" Fuck off this was in 1996, Jamie Durie wasn't doing shit on TV back then. That's Larry Emdur, who's a keen surfer.

@ThePuraboy No at 0:27 it's Lochie Daddo and at 0:32 it's Larry Emdur with the surfboard

@Blashada The guy smiling while the cane field was burning (0.43) was Steve Liebman, coincidentally, an earlier host of the Today show.

@ThePuraboy That was one of the Daddo brothers... Cameron or Lachie?
Karl Stefanovic would have only been about 16-18 in 1996.
