In March 2011, Australian current affairs program Today Tonight produced a story on Abigail, claiming that she had fallen on hard times, and claiming she was living as a squatter in a derelict church. A rebuttal story was aired the following evening by rival current affairs program, A Current Affair.

Oh wow that TAA ad with the 727. Though most of these ads are before my time (born 1972), I do remember the old TAA, and even Ansett, the days when there was actual competition in Australian commercial aviation.
I remember seeing an old Bedford truck with the TAA logo on it, just a couple of days after they'd gone out of business. A lonely figure in a back street near Sydney Airport. Poignant.
Thank you TH-cam algorithms for brining me here. What a great package, it reminds me of how very lucky I am to have grown up in Australia in the 60s and 70s ... Good vid, GreenYoshi93 👍👍👍👍
Wow! I was a tiny child and I instantly remembered the music from that lemonade ad, and that judge dropping something... but I wouldn't have known it was lemonade haha. Funny how random things stick with you forever, but others don't. Talk about a freaky sentimental feeling from a time when life was magical.

Great to see this again. I put it together for some collector / nostalgia event in Melbourne many years ago. A LOT of work went into it. In fact, I also seem to remember making a video cover for it as well ... an old TV screen with a Holden Monaro in the middle. Thanks for the upload.
Retro Thingz it's good to find out where the video originated from, as I found it at a swap meet in South Australia. It still has the cover too, and is exactly how you described it. The car on the front looks like it was coloured in with an orange highlighter :)
It was ! Don't think I even had a computer at the time (about twenty years ago). From memory, it was cobbled together as a prize in a competition and originally shown on a big screen at one of the major collector fairs over here. The first few commercials came off 16 mm film which I had to transfer. Most of the other ads from Iced Vo Vo onwards came from another VHS compilation tape which was created by a fellow collector. Although, I only included the best quality items on this final tape that you've got. And, as I recall, it also, originally, included all the car commercials as well (several of which were also on 16 mm) which you've uploaded separately elsewhere on your channel. There have always been nostalgia buffs getting around making an effort to preserve this sort of material. Thanks again
Yeah I separated them, the cigarette and coke commercials are from the tape as well. It's good that you did this back then otherwise these commercials could have been lost forever. They are great to watch and are an important part of Australian history. Thank you for putting the video together all those years ago :)
Mary Pevitt well, if what you say is true about all the ads you see on tv then you need to watch something else. There are many ads like you mentioned but I wouldn’t say that’s all there is. The old ones seemed to be very long.
@dahlia noir To be fair, I was a little kid growing up in Australia in the 70's. I had no idea about the White Australia policy - you just didn't think about such things, and nobody ever talked about it. Wasn't til I was at school and I was about 15 that I heard about it.
Yeah, the glory days if the stolen generation and aboriginals needing permission to marry, interracial marriage and gay sex being criminalised. The good old days, for the rich whites.
Tarax factory was in Huntingdale Vic had a printing business around the corner in 70. fred Parslow the Anticol man, a friend of Noel Ferrier & Frank Thring, I met them in 1963.
Me too. I can't say I relate to life here today. I think it's better to be out of touch. No more dance halls, no more street parking when shopping, no more Coles Variety Stores, all too many ppl I knew back then are dead, never saw old school friends since the 70s, work places have changed, schools are producing ppl without manners today, who BTW know nothing, etc.
AUSTRALIA WAS MUCH BETTER BACK THEN KIDS OF TODAY WILL NEVER KNOW HOW GOOD IT WAS THE LUCKY COUNTRY IS GONE DOOM AND GLOOM AHEAD IF ONLY WE COULD GO BACK ?
Im from Adelaide too and have never ever heard any of these either! I used to know all the ads we had and would sing along with all of them like the majority of us would I think these need to go back into the woodwork for eternity.
I still think the best Australian commercial of that era was one for Kellog's Rice Bubbles, where the man lamented the lack of Rice Bubbles, (sung to the aria ''Vesti la Gubba'') and was further depressed by the arrival of his mother in law, bearing Rice Bubbles, but announcing she was staying for six weeks!
Ahh yes,when Iced Vo Vos had a decent layer to the jam and icing,these days the layer is so thin you literally see the biscuit through the layer of jam.
the biscuit base is downsized, the topping is thread bare and of course, you are paying more than ever. That is standard practice in food manufacturing,.incrementally reduce the portion size while raising the price. Profit is all that matters.
Kevin Dennis was actually two people, Dennis Gowing and Kevin Heffernan.. They combined their first names to make the name Kevin Dennis. When they split Dennis Gowing kept the name and we all thought he was actually Kevin Dennis.. His real name was Marshall Dennis Whyte born in London before he was adopted. Amazing what you find with google.
There was an AMCO ad from @ 1972 for which I remember the jingle. It went Take a look at the world we're in, things aint the way the used to b'in, we all go in for the Amco thing it's a groovy way to be.....AMCO....AMCO.....its an AMCO kind of world. Cant find it anywhere.
TAA! The government-owned airline I flew to Canberra in as a schoolboy to see Parliament House (the old one of course!). I remember maybe half or less of those ads but this one stood out. Also, of course, Abigail - 'Vanessa the Undresser'... :)
Poor people, the joy of youth. They're all in their 60s now. Sigh! Anyone still remembers Rowena Wallace from 'You can't see around corners'? I don't think so. It was my favorite.
I don't remember "You can't see around Corners" but I certainly remember Rowena Wallace in TV shows like Matlock Police, Cop Shop, Homicide, Skyways, etc.

Yes Stephen. And now the ads are double the volume of the programs we're watching, and they dumb us down as well, which I loathe. Now when turning on the tv, everything is Covid, death insurance, riots, murders, ppl disappearing, stupid idiots smashing their cars into others, sponsor not the usual 3rd world kids, but an Aussie child, etc. Don't see many ads for Aussie products these days. Life these days is really depressing.
Joes the whip chocolate Up up and away with TAA Always remember that add on the radio in the mornings,tea and toast was about 4 yrs old and tarax,amco jeans used to save up pocket money to buy them as teenagers 1970's Memories are the best Time does move fast God Bless us all xx
Rather than 'Screamin Demons' we had 'Rumblers'. I recall the add; 'Rumblers keep riding into town. Rumblers; really mean machines, the wildest bikes around. Rumblers keep riding into town....." Haven't heard it since 72, but I still remember. Man, I wish I lived then, not now.
And Australia since then has been on a down hill roller coaster in every way from manufacturing ,education ,wages, to civilization ,human behaviour ,intelligence and mens bravery .
Yu can blame the heartless selfish CIA for that. From the time or even before they got your Prime Minister sacked in 1975. Its all been downhill ever since. & all the morons in politics or unions who secretly joined the CIA in 1 form or another. Also look at how ruthless companies like Coles & Woolworths have become. They also helped USA become the wreck it is today.
@@arteCee no just the above,.ie an occurance due to many influences and lack of .maybe not engineered .but surely in the very recent times it is definitely engineered.very sinister indeed.,
Crikey...Scream'n Deamons...remember the ad! The Matchbox Scorpions cars had a small rechargeable battery inside. After some hours of use and recharge, it could barely hold half charge. The speed control rotated a magnet under the plastic track. What an Aussie accent from Richie. Back then, accents were much stronger. The TAA balloon ad was everywhere on the TV. Many ads were intentionally satire.
White Australia policy? There were a lot of things that were truly awful as well. Cars were death traps. Smoking was being promoted. Vietnamese were being killed wholesale by invading armies.
Try telling that to the following generation. They never believe it. They think bcz they have technology, that our lives was boring crap from the dark ages. Funny they should say that bcz they WEREN'T there!
I'm sorry I can't watch 15 mins of commercials, but can you tell me if there's a Bex ad in there. It's the one where the woman asks the man returning home in his Holden and she asks, "How was the trip Tom?"
I must have been a bit too young for most of these but I do remember the TAA ads - I can't hear that song without thinking of TAA. I can't remember any of the Tarax ads specifically (is that Vivian Gray launching the ship?) but I do remember Black Label ads. I imagine that one with the sexy Abigail was probably not shown before 8.30pm!
Gasoline! What State was that from? In fact I don't think I ever saw more than 20% of these. The TAA goes West Coast America theme, still resonates today though.
Can anyone identify the tune in the Sparklets commercial ? , I can remember GTV 9 commonly used an orchestrated version as background music to their test pattern prior to 7AM commencement of transmission in the early 70's.
I turned 14 in 1970, but didn't recognise any of these commercials until 4.37 the TAA 'Come Fly the Friendly Way' commercial, which I loved at the time & still love seeing again. The TRIX advert rang a vague bell, but that one didn't particularly stick in my young mind...I wonder why... Barter shoes - school's starting again soon, yuk. As for Cornsilk face powder, Cadbury's "caramel whip" & Amco jeans.....they look pure 1970's, not 60'.
Kevin Dennis..... lol! I remember him, although I was too young in 69 to recall this add. (My first year at school.) I like be how the 'update' is a 69 HT. I had one myself, in another life. 😁
Geez the black label lemonade ad must be older than me I cant remember it!! i can the frank sinatra version. That old black magic has me in a spell.. that jingle from the 70s i think.

Awesome, the memories!
My grandpa would give Tarax Black label as a little kid. I miss him and the lemonade.
and Life Lemonade ...it's a beauty
Fantastic, thanks so much!!!
About the biscuits at 3:20 I used to always say "I like Iced Vo Vo but Iced Volvo is better!"
I still think the best Australian commercial of that era was one for Kellog's Rice Bubbles, where the man lamented the lack of Rice Bubbles, (sung to the aria ''Vesti la Gubba'') and was further depressed by the arrival of his mother in law, bearing Rice Bubbles, but announcing she was staying for six weeks!
NO MORE RICE BUBBLES. 😭😭😭
'Guess how long I'll be heeeere.'
'It's her sixteenth visit...this...yearrrrr [sobs]'
Ahh yes,when Iced Vo Vos had a decent layer to the jam and icing,these days the layer is so thin you literally see the biscuit through the layer of jam.
the biscuit base is downsized, the topping is thread bare and of course, you are paying more than ever.
That is standard practice in food manufacturing,.incrementally reduce the portion size while raising the price.
Profit is all that matters.
Incredibly, Kevin Dennis Motors still exists
Kevin Dennis Motor Group

Kevin Dennis was actually two people, Dennis Gowing and Kevin Heffernan.. They combined their first names to make the name Kevin Dennis. When they split Dennis Gowing kept the name and we all thought he was actually Kevin Dennis.. His real name was Marshall Dennis Whyte born in London before he was adopted. Amazing what you find with google.
@@kaindog100 is he the same Kevin Heffernan that drove a LJ Torana GTR-XU1 at Bathurst?
@@davidewhite69 I can’t find any info on that but there was a Kevin Heffernan in a commodore in the 90’s.
Pity they're not competitive with their pricing...
There was an AMCO ad from @ 1972 for which I remember the jingle. It went
Take a look at the world we're in, things aint the way the used to b'in, we all go in for the Amco thing it's a groovy way to be.....AMCO....AMCO.....its an AMCO kind of world.
Cant find it anywhere.
Well done! Interesting and also entertaining.
TAA! The government-owned airline I flew to Canberra in as a schoolboy to see Parliament House (the old one of course!). I remember maybe half or less of those ads but this one stood out. Also, of course, Abigail - 'Vanessa the Undresser'... :)
Love the TAA ad.
I recognised the man in the Trix commercial. Many years later, he did a commercial for Dynamo Laundry Detergent.
The main man in the Trix commercial is Stuart Wagstaff.
Poor people, the joy of youth. They're all in their 60s now. Sigh! Anyone still remembers Rowena Wallace from 'You can't see around corners'? I don't think so. It was my favorite.
I don't remember "You can't see around Corners" but I certainly remember Rowena Wallace in TV shows like Matlock Police, Cop Shop, Homicide, Skyways, etc.

You forgot Prisoner. She starred in every drama series. Lovely woman.

@@mickcarson8504 yeah remember her in prisoner, but I had to stop somewhere 😋
I remember her from 'The Rovers.'
I had that screaming demons toy.
Wow, that Tarax orange ad (1:41) is a bit raunchy for its time!
Abigail was HOT back then..she was my first major crush growing up..lol
No not then - it was common - Now the Big M add girls..........
...Abigail was a bit raunchy for her time too. Ever watch the No 96 series? 👀👁👁👅
@@repentorperish1405 I haven't seen the series, not old enough for that to have been in my time, but I've seen the specific scene you're referring to.
Ads used to be a lot less "in your face"!
Yes Stephen. And now the ads are double the volume of the programs we're watching, and they dumb us down as well, which I loathe. Now when turning on the tv, everything is Covid, death insurance, riots, murders, ppl disappearing, stupid idiots smashing their cars into others, sponsor not the usual 3rd world kids, but an Aussie child, etc. Don't see many ads for Aussie products these days. Life these days is really depressing.
Joes the whip chocolate
Up up and away with TAA
Always remember that add on the radio in the mornings,tea and toast was about 4 yrs old and tarax,amco jeans used to save up pocket money to buy them as teenagers 1970's
Memories are the best
Time does move fast
God Bless us all xx
still looking for kodak commercial from about 69 70 party scene with kids and grand dad
Thanks for this ! My favourites Screamin Demons, aBIGail, Amoco and caramel whip.
Who was the black guy doing the Brash's commercial? I dont recall ever seeing those ads here in South Aus when I was growing up.
Rather than 'Screamin Demons' we had 'Rumblers'. I recall the add; 'Rumblers keep riding into town. Rumblers; really mean machines, the wildest bikes around. Rumblers keep riding into town....." Haven't heard it since 72, but I still remember. Man, I wish I lived then, not now.
And Australia since then has been on a down hill roller coaster in every way from manufacturing ,education ,wages, to civilization ,human behaviour ,intelligence and mens bravery .
Yu can blame the heartless selfish CIA for that. From the time or even before they got your Prime Minister sacked in 1975. Its all been downhill ever since.
& all the morons in politics or unions who secretly joined the CIA in 1 form or another. Also look at how ruthless companies like Coles & Woolworths have become.
They also helped USA become the wreck it is today.
social engineering.
@@arteCee no just the above,.ie an occurance due to many influences and lack of .maybe not engineered .but surely in the very recent times it is definitely engineered.very sinister indeed.,
Crikey...Scream'n Deamons...remember the ad!
The Matchbox Scorpions cars had a small rechargeable battery inside. After some hours of use and recharge, it could barely hold half charge. The speed control rotated a magnet under the plastic track.
What an Aussie accent from Richie. Back then, accents were much stronger.
The TAA balloon ad was everywhere on the TV.
Many ads were intentionally satire.
When Australia looked like Australia
White Australia policy? There were a lot of things that were truly awful as well. Cars were death traps. Smoking was being promoted. Vietnamese were being killed wholesale by invading armies.
Indigenous? With a healthy flowing Murray Darling and native forest? Beautiful.
See what I mean, the woke deadshits are out, they hate themselves, and want everyone to do the same.This is what I think of them 🖕🏼
what do you mean by that..?
Well said, Christine
I was actually someone who looked forward to the ad breaks back in the day.
Yer - Put the kettle on or go for a wizz
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be...I'm looking for a Tarax commercial!
Gee I miss the seventies.
Is that Abigail Rogan?
Has anyone seen the KEMDEX false teeth commercial? Was it radio or TV or both?
I couldn't watch Ritchie without thinking of the 12th Man!
Takes us all back, better times that we can only now appreciate. What price progress.
White, santised, boring, racist and sexist.
Try telling that to the following generation. They never believe it. They think bcz they have technology, that our lives was boring crap from the dark ages. Funny they should say that bcz they WEREN'T there!
@@johanna5688 They were, I was there too.
"
*_"...the wife washes, and the dishes dry themselves."_* [peering through fingers] ..oh dear!
but washing up makes woman happy!
@@rods6405 : Klaus Schwab may pick that one up, "You will wash up, and you will be happy!".
These are all palatable unlike the irritating ads of today.
Richie B! Marvellous, that Milo tonic food.
I'm sorry I can't watch 15 mins of commercials, but can you tell me if there's a Bex ad in there. It's the one where the woman asks the man returning home in his Holden and she asks, "How was the trip Tom?"
Where's the flashing black and white Ampol logo ad that makes you think it's in colour and gives you epilepsy?
4:22 Richie Benaud holy shit, even sounds the same back then. Eat a champ. RIP
He's so young here! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Oh I remember Brashs (not the add but the store) the only ad that is familiar to me is the TAA one - for the jingle
That Kevin Dennis ad was terrible 10:42 . Had never seen it and hopefully never see it again. Liked the Amco and TAA ads and Abigail of course.
I must have been a bit too young for most of these but I do remember the TAA ads - I can't hear that song without thinking of TAA. I can't remember any of the Tarax ads specifically (is that Vivian Gray launching the ship?) but I do remember Black Label ads. I imagine that one with the sexy Abigail was probably not shown before 8.30pm!
Haha. TAA, Try Another Airline. Tight Axxx Airline.
Gasoline! What State was that from? In fact I don't think I ever saw more than 20% of these. The TAA goes West Coast America theme, still resonates today though.
They were all Victorian ads from the look of them.
@@WorksOnMyComputer Yep, with the exception of the Caramel Whip and TAA ads, which were probably National. That Cadbury's ad is a crackup!
That 1972 Tarax Black Label add conjures an image of grave-grinners and bleaching skulls and impending desth, just outside of frame.
shut up Les.
@@acomment559 who is Les?
Oh COME ON Damien. Just what are you on about? You must be talking about life today with Covid. Life was a blast back then. You missed it all....
@@johanna5688 I remember the ad. That's how I knew the year. 🤣
Can anyone identify the tune in the Sparklets commercial ? , I can remember GTV 9 commonly used an orchestrated version as background music to their test pattern prior to 7AM commencement of transmission in the early 70's.
I turned 14 in 1970, but didn't recognise any of these commercials until 4.37 the TAA 'Come Fly the Friendly Way' commercial, which I loved at the time & still love seeing again. The TRIX advert rang a vague bell, but that one didn't particularly stick in my young mind...I wonder why... Barter shoes - school's starting again soon, yuk. As for Cornsilk face powder, Cadbury's "caramel whip" & Amco jeans.....they look pure 1970's, not 60'.
Amco was 70s.
Kevin Dennis..... lol! I remember him, although I was too young in 69 to recall this add. (My first year at school.) I like be how the 'update' is a 69 HT. I had one myself, in another life. 😁
its marvellous the difference milo makes.... it got me fat!
Takes me back to the days I'd play all day in the mud, then go and have a shower with my uncle - those were the days
Geez the black label lemonade ad must be older than me I cant remember it!! i can the frank sinatra version. That old black magic has me in a spell.. that jingle from the 70s i think.
TARAX man thats something I haven't seen in decades
