Do you remember where you have been between April 30 and October 30, 1988? Chances are you were one of 16 million visitors to the World Exhibition 1988 in Brisbane! This week marks the 30th anniversary of the opening of the World’s Fair in Brisbane - and although it has been three decades, staff and visitors to the Expo still notice how much the 6 months have changed and shaped the city.
"It was a special, happy time," is the tenor of those who were allowed to experience it.
SBS Queensland correspondent Katharina Loesche set out to capture the special atmosphere of the exhibition even nowadays, 30 years later.
She met with the well-known former SBS German correspondent Ursula Sterf, who worked at that time at the German Consulate in Brisbane, was instrumental in the German contribution to the Expo.
But there were some other special guests in 1988.
