![]() ![]() I saw guys looking like replicated Arnold Schwartzeneggers eating 8-10 Weetbix at a time washed down with concoctions of beverages they'd mix up from fruit and supplements in a bank of blenders. The breakfast table teemed with displays of Weetbix, Hi Bran, Puffed Wheat and all types of Sanitarium products. I met a Bloke in the dining room there one morning while the athletes were eating and I never saw so much of the sponsor's product being devoured in one place. Every morning, before the participants were bussed to Moore Park, they gathered for breakfast at the hotel. Sanitarium Health Food Company, the makers of Weetbix, were sponsoring the weightlifting events at the Easter Show and had reserved a number of apartments at the Oakford as well as a number of floors of rooms at an adjacent hotel to house muscle men and women from all over Oceania that were competing in the Easter Show festivities and events. At the time of the 1997 Show, my family and I were enjoying a stay in Sydney at an apartment at the Oakford City West on Missenden Road in Camperdown, near the University of Sydney. The next year the Show moved to the new Sydney Showground site at Homebush Bay. Joking aside, back in 1997 was the last year that the Sydney Royal Easter Show was held at Moore Park (presently the site of Fox Studios). All-in-all, I'd rather tuck into a couple of Tim Tams washed down with a cold glass of Milo! ^ The following is a list of New Zealand card releases.IMHO you can make a pretty good substitute for Weetbix by soaking a brillo pad in warm water, to which you've added a dollop of Vegemite. 1942/3 Advance Australia – a Pageant of the Yearsġ945 The Children's Australian Encyclopaedia Series (volume 1)ġ952 The Children's Australian Encyclopaedia Series (volume 2)ġ993 Colgate Smile for Miles (printed backs)ġ993 Colgate Smile for Miles (plain backs)ġ962 True to Life Card Series (stereo cards)ġ976 Australia's Own Birds and Wildflowersġ978 The World of Vintage and Veteran Carsġ999 Take it to the Next Level (stickers)ġ978 The World of Vintage and Veteran Cars (USA export plain backs)Ģ000 The Lee Brothers Eat Fast Claim Fastġ964 Wildlife of the World (stereo cards)ġ964 See Australia with TAA (stereo cards)ġ965 Picture and History Vintage and Veteran Cars 1896–1966ġ981 Veteran and Vintage Cars (stickers – not issued under Weet-Bix name)ġ966 Veteran and Vintage Cars (stereo cards)ġ966 Picture and History Cards of the Story of Flight from 1783 to 1966ġ966 Picture and History Cards of Aeroplanesġ987 The Weet-Bix Gazette World of Wheels The following is a list of Australian card releases.
