AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: Apparently there are those who think we’ve been
taking it a little easy around the Australian Express studio of late so
the boss has decided it’s time for us all to be banished to ‘Boot
Camp’. These military style establishments have become very popular
with young Australians who voluntarily subject themselves to a strict
regime of exercise and discipline. And as if to prove that we’re not
taking the boss all that seriously we meet a group of fun seekers as
they attempt to break the world laughing record and I assure you it’s
serious business. Meanwhile on a more serious note we join a very
special driving school designed to teach young people to ‘Drive for
Life’ in an effort to reduce the carnage on our roads.
