We share so many of the same memories, thanks to our fathers I am sure. I also have the benefit of being one of those grid girls (lucky me), I do wonder if I returned now it would be?

It's better. You can get a reasonable coffee on Mount Panorama which does my head in.

Walking around the camp area, I think it's a lot of the same people. They're just too old now to be too rowdy.

Very watery. Unless you're in a corporate box (like I eventually managed to wrangle).

Having been up there from 81 to 86, between the ages of 10 to 15, this is an accurate reflection of the lived experience of kids on the mountain. It was straight up lawless.

Yes - lawless is the word.

These days it's a much older, more tame crowd. Who knows how much longer this scene will exist.
