About the original

DescriptionThis photo appeared in the UNINEWS in 1988. The text was: "15,000 visit University Glorious spring sunshine provided an added bonus to UNIVISIT '88, the University's Bicentennial Open Days, on September 3 and 4. The mammoth event, when the University opened its doors to members of the Hunter community, is normally held every four years, however, UNIVISIT "88 has been hailed as a great success and it has been suggested that the next event should be held sooner. An estimated 15,000 people were admitted to the University's grounds. They inspected an enormous variety of activities, including displays, demonstrations, models and maps in the Great Hall and departments, visited Carnivale '88, saw special sporting events and were entertained outdoors. The NSW Minster for Family and Community Services, Mrs Virginia Chadwick, a graduate of the University, officially opened the Open Days. Among others who visited the campus were the Federal Minster for Industrial Relations, Mr Peter Morris. Showing off the University teaching and research in the Bicentennial year was the University's intention."
