Destination - mid-September 1986 - on the 20 20 Retro Countdown..

The week when Crocodile Dundee hit cinemas in the US nearly 6 months after it's Australian premiere... Paul Hogan had already smashed box office records here... so the big test was how it would go in American cinemas..

 

Meanwhile... in 1986 finals action... the Parramatta Eels were about to face off against the Canterbury Bulldogs in the NSWRL decider... Minor Premiers - the Eels went on to defeat the Bulldogs in the lowest scoring Grand Final ever... 4-2!

 

             

 

In the VFL Hawthorne lowered the colours of the Blues - as they took out the '86 flag by 42 points!
