TEN EYEWITNESS NEWS PROMO MELBOURNE 80s

Alot of familiar faces in here and a few forgotten ones.
Great footage of Melbourne on a typically sunny day. Lookout for a puney Bruce McCavaney playing tennis in short shorts.
A particular highlight is David Johnstone's twirl in the office.

the other guy playing tennis is actually Tony Banks. Rob Gaylard never worked at Ten (AFAIK) but instead was at BTV6, GTV9 and then Southern Cross Network.

The other guy playing tennis is Rob Gailard who is a sports report and well known around horse industry.

Dont forget Eddie McGuire was also a reporter at ATV10 at the time. They had the dreamteam back then.
