Australia Live Broadcast
On 1 January 1988 the Mount Lofty Fire Tower was beamed live around Australia on Channel 9 television as part of the Australia Live broadcast to celebrate the Australian Bicentenary. The three members of the spotting crew appeared on the broadcast along with former Adelaide radio journalist Murray Nichol, who was awarded a Walkley for his live report from his own street in Greenhill as it burned around him during the Ash Wednesday fires in 1983. Following the Australia Live broadcast the three teenage members of the spotting crew appeared in several local media pieces and appeared in a two-page feature article in Woman's Day magazine.
