I’ve been trying to track that particular ad down for years too.
From memory a snake lunges at the horse, causing it to buck and the rider is thrown over the cliff. The rider then starts shouting “ned, ned”.
“I’m coming, Snowie”, shouts Ned as he tumbles down the cliff to save him – only to find him stuck up a tree.
What is it?
I can see the pub from here!
Absolutely vintage but I can’t trace.
If anyone can send me a link to it I’d be really grateful.
Cheers,
Gavin

This is great, just stumbled on it, searching everywhere for a picture of the trawler/boat ad done on the island, 2005? can’t find it anywhere, it’s a spitting image of our trawler that sank, no insurance and not many photos either, hope l can see it here somewhere in those ad links, great little page this.,
l hear we have Anna Bligh to thank for banning alcohol adverts here in Qld, no wonder l can’t find any pictures.

Great adds, but they were early 90s. In fact, they came out 91-92. As an Aussie in the UK, I was nicknamed ‘Snowy’ after one of the adds.

Hi all,
I am looking for a copy of a XXXX ad made approx 1980 – 82 at the Overlander Hotel in Mt Isa and having a Rodeo theme. A friend of mine played the part of one of the barmaids. I would like to surprise her with a copy of it. Thanks guys.

Hi, my dad was in in one of the very first XXXX commercials, somewhere during the time of 1977- 1983. long ago I know. He was tragically killed not long after filming and it was taken off air. I was 12 at the time. If anyone could help me out here, it would be most appreciated. It was footy related ad trainings etc, with the classic finale of going to the bar after a hard training…”I can feel a XXXX coming on” was the infamous jingle.

PLEASE,PLEASE, if anyone could help me out.
