	AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by 
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "To some, mice make great 
pets, to others, particularly those who live in the country, they’re 
nothing more than vermin. Australia’s farmers suffer greatly from our 
unpredictable weather. There’s either too much rain or nothing at all 
and it’s following or during droughts that rodents begin to 
proliferate. And if you think that a few mice scampering across the 
kitchen floor constitutes a plague, on this weekend’s Australian 
Express two members of the ABC’s Rural Affairs unit tell us some real 
horror stories about rampaging rodents. We also get down and dirty as 
we wallow in glorious mud. Not the stuff you used to play in as a kid. 
This mud is expensive and is used by those trying to keep the wrinkles 
at bay. Our special guest is David Gulpilil, an indigenous Australian 
and an accomplished actor, dancer, singer and player of the didgeridoo. 
He talks about his career, his family and growing up in north-east 
Arnhem Land."

brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Deja Vu: a 
Glitch in the Matrix?" Although around two thirds of us have

into a past life? [%]
