when did the first colour tv come out in australia
Television in Australia In 1972 it was announced that all stations would move to colour on 1 March 1975, using the European PAL standard mandated in 1968.[44][50][51] The slogan used to sell colour television to the Australian public was 'March first into colour'. Australia was to have one of the fastest change-overs to colour television in the world â€“ by 1978 over 64% of households in Sydney and Melbourne had colour television sets.[50]
National colours of Australia According to the Australian government, "green and gold have been popularly embraced as Australiaâ€™s national sporting colours" since the late 1800s.[1] Nearly every current Australian national sports team wears them (although the hues and proportions of the colours may vary between teams and across eras).[citation needed] Australia's cricket team first wore the colours in 1899, in the form of the baggy green, the cap presented to Australian cricket players.[5]
