0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week: It may be a game but some take Monopoly

Australian Express pays a visit to the Australian Monopoly
Championships where a roll of the dice can mean the difference between
success and failure. And how would you like to push a wheelbarrow full
of iron 120 kilometres across the arid Pilbara region of Western
Australia? Recently 150 people took up the challenge of the annual
Black Rock Stakes. This race with a difference is entering its 35th
year. You may well wonder why? And Australia’s Murray River is
struggling to survive. It stretches over two and a half thousand

to save this once mighty river? Conservationists provide some of the
answers on this week’s program.
