They posed solo with long encores, and then performed a duo posing routine for the sell-out audience. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eAt the 1977 Mr. Australia see the sensational guest posing by SERGE NUBRET.  ROGER WALKER, formerly from UK, later placed 6th in the 1980 Mr. Olympia representing Australia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eThe top Aussie competitors include FRANK COLOMBERA, PAUL GRAHAM, GRAEME LANCEFIELD, IVAN DJIRLIC, CLYDE BIRD, JOHN KOZIURA, ROBERT NAILON, GEORGE SEREDYNSKI, ROBERT DEEGAN, PETER McCARTHY and SAMMY IOANNIDIS.

Film was expensive and technology was difficult for recording live events on a low budget. Sound film was way more expensive and out of the question. In 1972 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu coming to Australia as guest posers at the Southern Universe Contest on the Gold Coast, it was time to shoot some of my first ever major contest footage in Australia. This was followed by my filming at the 1972 Mr Australia. Both contests being held under IFBB rules. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eThis is a DVD of major historical importance both in the context of Aussie bodybuilding, but also for world bodybuilding. This was the early days of USA superstars making posing tours to overseas countries. It was also Arnold and Franco's first visit to Australia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eThe day after the Gold Coast Southern Universe contest, I shot my classic pumping and posing films with Arnold and Franco poolside at the former Chevron Hotel pool in Surfer’s Paradise. On the rear cover you will see Robert Nailon’s historic photo from the end of my filming session showing Paul Graham with Arnold and Franco. My thanks to Robert for this great photograph.

In these 2 classic 1972 contests you will see Frank come out a very narrow winner over Paul. It has been my privilege to have recorded this early history of the sport in Australia on movie film. My thanks to promoter Bob Bruce who invited me to come and cover his event on film. He took an enormous financial risk at the time in bringing to Australia both Arnold and Franco.

This was 2 years after Serge was runner up to Arnold in the 1975 Mr. Olympia. He was in incredible shape and brought the house down, similarly to Arnold and Franco in Australia, 5 years before.
