When I first turned 18 there were $2 beers in Cooneys in Wollongong, that was pretty great on Wednesdays.My brother was reminiscing about $1 beers at happy hour. $10 is all you needed for a night.
Or $3 at the patch for every beer if you were a student.
Steeler at 5 beers and a steak for $15 back then as well.
My work has only just gone up to $5.10 for New/Draught/VB/Old, $5.30 for Coopers/Superdry, which is not too bad. Was under $5 for everything at the start of the year
