AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: As the big dry continues in Australia those on
the land are increasingly looking to the time honoured tradition of
divining in their desperate search for water. Put crudely divining is
the art of walking around with a forked twig in the hope of detecting
untapped sources of water. This weekend the Australia Express does it's
best to find out how it all works and whether water divining is a
science or an innate ability that
only a few are born with. We also examine the short and long term
effects of 'Binge Drinking', a phenomenon which is affecting an
increasing number of young Australians.
And if the film 'Jaws' sapped your desire to swim and surf then we have
good news.
An Australian company is currently testing a surfboard that

that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we
recognize the experiment's inherent dangers and, with luck and wisdom,
shape its outcome. [T;%]
