The explosion of SN 1987A in the LMC during the early hours of February 23 1987, has presented southern observers opportunity, unique in our lifetime, to gain a new insight into the supernova phenomenon. Fortunately, SN1987A has risen to the challenge, and has shown us that many of our comfortable pre-conceptions about Type II events will have to be revised in fascinating and sometimes unexpected ways. This paper is an attempt to describe what has been learnt so far wth an emphasis on the research being carried out in Australia. All references are dated 1987 unless otherwise specified.
