Virtual Tally Room was heavily visited and tonight it's certain to come 
under sustained pressure. "Rockpool Dishwasher". Imagine a dishwasher

industrial design students have come up with - their version uses

	BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current affairs

another endless summer of crisp whites and baggy greens, we hear about 
cricket as focus of boyish dreams in the suburbs, and as a language for 
life in Australia. The Gift Of Speed is the latest novel from the pen 
of author Steven Carroll. Steven tells Ramona Koval about the way 
cricket becomes the obsession for a boy becoming a man, in this second 
book of a trilogy that began with The Art Of The Engine Driver. [T;%]
0434
	BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at the 
latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week: "How

and the Enlightenment went into reverse. [%]

0505
	AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by 
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "Have you ever wondered what 
it’d be like in one of those space suits that astronauts wear – like 
the one Neil Armstrong wore when he walked on the moon? Or have you 
imagined what it must be like in space, where you’re effectively stuck 
with the same group of people, day after day, week after week? 
Researchers at the Australian National University in conjunction with 
the Mars Society of Australia recently conducted an experiment that 
looked at this and a whole range of issues. Are you one of those who 
believe if it saves you money, no matter what it is, why should you pay 
for it? Well this sort of attitude is costing others dearly. And these 
days technology is making it all that much easier. For instance the 
Internet enables us to ‘share’ music files, to download them and burn 
them on to our own CDs. But is this really ‘sharing’ or is it, as the 
music industry would argue, piracy and theft? And come with us to the 
Abrolhus Islands which reside in splendid isolation off the West 
Australian coast. Find out what life’s like when home is surrounded by 
sea water."
0532
	ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind, 
brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week:  "The Scene of the 
Crime…One Too Many?"
A leading psychiatrist says we vastly underestimate traumatic life 
events as a cause of mental illness. We hear the moving story of a 
forensic policewoman’s struggle with the chilling effects of 
over-exposure to disturbing crime scenes. [%]

Marcellino; and 'Cosmonaut', an opera based on the relationship between 
an isolated cosmonaut and an Australian woman looking for escape, is 
discussed by composer David Chesworth and librettist Tony MacGregor. 
Also on the show: a semi-staged cantata with its roots in the 17th 
century, but it's themes alive in the 21st century: the ensemble 
Accademia Arcadia plays the music of Handel and Scarlatti, and ensemble 
director Jacky Ogeil, writer Rodney Hall and 'Cardinal' Barry Jones

	AUSTRALIA NOW* - a 13-part series looking at the jobs Australians do,

also examines the environment that supports Australians, the political 
structures that govern them and the way they get along with each other 
and their regional neighbours. "Program #2: The View From The 
Grandstand". The Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2000 Olympic 
Games in Sydney are rich grounds for cultural interpretation. The 
cultural representations included in these ceremonies present a potted 
history of European settlement in Australia and also paid homage to 
newer arrivals to the country and to the Indigenous people who’s 
history goes back some forty to sixty thousand years. The choice of 
Aboriginal athlete, Cathy Freeman, to light the Olympic cauldron sent 
out a message about reconciliation between non-Indigenous and 
Indigenous Australians and represented something of a sea change since 
the 1988 Bicentenary that commemorated two hundred years of European 
settlement and attracted Aboriginal protests. [%;T]

and the opportunity for reconciliation. [%]

1705
	THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week: "The 
Seven Stars of the Pleiades". Since antiquity the Pleiades star

Madame Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy, believed they were the key to 
her Septenary Law, the universal importance of the number 7. Aboriginal 
writer and lawyer, Munya Andrews has had a lifelong fascination with
