1987 UBBA Mr. Australia: Men – The Show
Includes Couples.

Australia’s premier event, the UBBA National Championships for men and women was held in Geelong, Victoria at The Arena. It was prejudging on September 5th and the Show Finals on the 6th. The UBBA was the earlier name for NABBA Australia with the open class winners going on to represent Australia at the NABBA Universe in London.

Between the men’s and women’s DVDs see 62 of Australia’s finest young champions.

The overall contest was won by GARY LEWER giving him his second national title.

Mr Universe, Sammy Ioannidis was the special guest poser. Sammy was the 1986 NABBA Mr Universe class winner and he was in superb condition being one week away from defending his title at the 1987 Universe. He is pictured front cover above.

The show DVD brings you  the complete posing routines of all  the men and couples through to the emotional climax of the overall posedown and awards. Unlike most national shows overseas, the Australian event included classes for Couples, young guys from under 17 through to Teens, Juniors and Novices. These young men were a huge highlight as they showed the depth of talent in Australia in 1987.

Gary Lewer went on to place second at the NABBA Universe 1 week later.
