AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: In Australia sport is a way of life. Some even
travel the world to barrack for their favourite players. You’ll find
them at Wimbledon but perhaps not supporting the lack lustre Aussie
cricketers as they struggle to win a game. On the Australian Express
this week we meet a group of professional sports buffs that call
themselves the Fanatics. There’s also a visit to country Victoria’s
last Drive-In cinema. Sadly it is no more. The days of the outdoor
cinema experience are over, at least for filmgoers in the town of
Shepparton. And if you feel like volunteering some of your precious
time to help others come with us to central Australia to hear about the
work of ‘Indigenous Community Volunteers’, a not-for-profit
organisation which finds volunteers to work with Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander communities across the country.
