Clairsy’s Tragic Music Box took us back to 1988.  A year of Australia's Bicentenary celebrations, Atari gaming consoles and MagnaDoodles, 1988 was the year Channel 10 went to air in Perth, Murray Street was not yet a mall and petrol cost just 60 cents a litre for petrol. Oh.. and can you remember how many gold medals Australian won at the Seoul Olympics? Hint – not many.
