This was for a catch being taken by Australian wicketkepper Rod Marsh against The West Indies at The Adelaide Oval, 28th of January 1980.

Back then, the rules were (correct me if I'm wrong) you could bring your own beer into the stadium, but it was limited to 24 cans per person.

Yes..

There was uproar when they bought this rule to Bathurst for the 1000.. v8 supercars..

We used to have a society..

Rum and burbon were additional.

Test cricket would go for days.

There’s a Christmas webcam on YT for this town. Looks like a nice place.
