AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "While the comeback of the TV talent quest has spawned the careers of a few and seen the downfall of many more - one “older Aussie idol” says she couldn't have made it without them. Olivia Newton-John, known for her starring role in Grease and other hits in the 80’s, is celebrating more than 30 years in showbiz. This week on the Australian Express Olivia takes us back to where it all began and we’ll also hear a track or two from her latest CD - “Indigo – Women of Song”. For those who prefer more energetic pursuits we find out what it’s like to paddle solo across the Gulf of Carpentaria. That’s the large stretch of water just off the coast of Northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. And for a whale of a time the Australian Express joins a pod of Humpbacks as they migrate from the temperate waters up north to cooler climes down south."

ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind, brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week: "Rebels and the Cause - The Adolescent Brain". The development of the adolescent brain. No matter which way you look at it - adolescence is an inherently turbulent time of life. Teenagers know it, parents certainly know it and now science is beginning to understand why. Imaging technology is revealing that certain parts of the brain don't fully mature until well in to our twenties. And yet risk taking, impulsivity and poor judgement - the traits so synonymous with adolescence, could be important for healthy long-term development. [%]

THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "Lisbon - Tagus River Dreaming". This is a port city with a long pedigree, dating back beyond the Romans, to the Phoenecians, Greeks and Carthaginians. You can still see the effects of 400 years of Moorish rule, even though the Alfama, the old town, had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755. The elegant tower, from which the explorers of the Age of Discovery in the fifteenth century were farewelled, still stands on the river at Belem. Sadly, the Industrial Revolution passed Lisbon by, as the city endured decades of military insurrection, political chaos and dictatorship. And since the end of the Salazar regime in the mid-seventies, urban development has largely happened without the benefit of planning. [%]

This week: "Machines in Music". In the early 20th century the sound of machines was thought by many to herald the dawn of mankind’s golden age. This inspired many composers to write music reflecting the sound and ethos of the machine, some of whose work is explored in this program. Music by Mosolov, Prokofiev, Antheil, Raymond Scott, James Ledger, Honegger and Adams. [%]

SUNDAY PROFILE - In-depth analysis of the major news in Australia and around the world with Geraldine Doogue. [www.abc.net.au/sundayprofile/] for details. This week: "Peter Conrad and Ben Friedman". Peter Conrad was born in Tasmania, and has become an internationally known critic, teaching English at Oxford University. He charts Australia's transformation in British eyes over 200 years, from a place of punishment, with a harsh climate and weird animals, to a desirable location, a lucky country. This is the theme of his Boyer lectures, beginning this Sunday. Also Ben Friedman, professor of economics at Harvard University looks at President Bush's ideas of an 'ownership society', which encourages saving and investment rather than work.
