Something odd happened to Aussie soaps around 1999/2000.
Before then the girls seemed to live in minis or shorts, the Summerbay High uniform was about fingertip length - 200 above the knee! They weren't afraid to film on the beach and there's plenty of stuff in various archives of Kym, Brooke, Isla, Tempany, MelG and all the others in bikinis doing what Aussies do best - enjoying beach life. Then the uniform dropped about 150, the legs all dissappeared, the girls seem to live in trousers or calf length skirts and Summer Bay/Palm Beach might as well be miles inland for all the use they make of it. Not only that, there seems to be no sport at these schools any more. All very odd.
I have heard it suggested that it might be something to do with having a dour grey humourless funeral director as a P.M. [How did a country like your's ever elect such a nonentity?]
Anyway boys, keep looking out for all these little gems - and do try to record them for posterity.
If you want to see some of the old soapy scenes like the surf carnival, check out Bomscans regularly, he doesn't miss a trick.

I completely agree with you. I mean just WTH? has happened to the show, only bout 10-15% is on or near the beach now i reckon. and it's sposed to be a show about a town that lives next to the beach. *rolls eyes* And yah the girls barely ever wear beachy type clothes now days. And bomscans? where is this? also LOL don't get me started on the inadequeteicies of our pollies rob. One thing i don't remember is these quite short uniforms you speak off.

Bomscans is a Pom site where the guy caps absolutely everything with half decent crumpet, including the old Neighbours on UKGold [currently about '96 with the young Libby and Danni Stark in their little bum hugging dresses]
and H&A on Trouble channel, currently about '97 with will and the Nashes just arrived. Kim Cooper's only been on for about a week and has spent 3 eps in a bikini! Check it out on-
www.bomscans.com

it's a subscription site with a few freebies every day but the quality is excellent.
Re the uniforms, try this test..
Count the whole squares of pattern from the neck to the hem, now 14/15 squares {when you can see the hem at all!). Used to be 11/12 squares 4 or 5 years back, with plenty of full length shots - check out Isla's archive in Bomscans.
Anyway, keep looking out for the good stuff, I'm off to the pub for a couple of pints of Fuller's London Pride - cracking brew if you like beer with flavour!
