Do you remember crying when we first said you could call your relatives overseas? Did you fill with pride when we used “We Are Australian” in our advertising campaign?

So have you forgotten about the series of "Chucky" adverts from MobileNet some 10 years ago. Hugely successful and still remembered today by people.

I loved the one where the bloke is on the pay-phone saying "the trucks can't get through, the train can't get through ... we're COMPLETELY CUT OFF....." and then the camera pans back to show he's chest-deep in floodwater but the payphone is still working. Rabbits is the clear winner for me but the Yellow Pages ads have been consistently brilliant!

What about the couple sitting on the verandah, when the phone starts ringing. The wife says to the husband: "That'll be the phone,Reg". Classic.

All the "Chucky" adds. We Did Chucky & Run Chucky Run (a Telstra group had running tops made with this on the back) We do chucky, we do - also the bloke talking on the payphone when he is waist deep in flood water. And the yellow pages one where he said "Packed 'em"
