IIRC, we didn't get Macdonalds here in Oz until the late 70's - or at
the very least, they weren't common. I was in my late teens by the
time they were common and ordinarily wouldn't go to one... except late
at night when we'd have a bad case of the munchies... who knew I could
eat a Big mac, two 1/4 pounders and two apple pies in one sitting...
Oh well, I couldn't put on weight back then no matter what I ate.

We did have 'Hungry Jacks' before then though - they seem to be an
offshoot of Burger King. I quite liked their 'Whoppers' when I was a
kid.

Yep!
