1986 SABBA Adelaide Physique Classic:  Show

Dom Polski Hall, Adelaide, South Australia   6th April, 1986.

This major contest saw a great entry from all of the top physiques in South Australia, both men and women. The Prejudging was not recorded, but every single competitor presents their posing routine at the Show. See the complete evening show from all of the individual routines to guest posers to the final awards.

It was a big night for the sensational Junior star Mark Trewartha. Mark went on to have a great career in the Open Class including his representing Australia at the NABBA Universe in 1991 and 1995.

Eddie Turner also presented an outstanding, symmetrical physique in winning the Men’s Open Class.  Women’s winner Debbie Meller went on 5 months later to represent Australia at the 1986 NABBA Universe. Debbie and Mark are pictured front cover.
