the outdoors then look no further because the Australian Express is
about to head off on a droving trip that involves days in the saddle
behind a mob of cattle, moving slowly across the countryside. The
programme also joins in the ABC wide Blues festival. The corporation’s
7 radio networks, two television channels and it’s on-line division
have joined forces to focus on and promote this genre of music. We
welcome Jackie Orszarsky, one of Australia’s leading blues gurus,
who’ll tell us how the blues originated and why it’s so popular. We
also pay a visit to The Golden Shears Championship, the world's premier
sheep shearing competition, where Australia defeated our old foe New
Zealand. The event attracted competitors from 16 countries and more
than 20,000 spectators. One of them was our reporter who watched the
competitors go through their paces. And what’s the connection between a
mobile phone and a mad dog? Find out by joining Roger Broadbent and the
Australian Express this week on Radio Australia.

BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special series from
Australia and around the world. This week: "The Massey Lectures 2004: A
Short History of Progress: Pyramid Schemes". IRonald Wright views
civilization as living beyond one's means. The spectacular rise and
fall of Rome in the Old World, and the Maya in the New. Despite these
collapses, the experiment of civilization keeps going in both
hemispheres. The collision of worlds after 1492 leads to the Industrial
Revolution and the modern age. Each time history repeats itself, so
it's said, the price goes up. The 20th century was a time of runaway
growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a
colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water
-- the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the 21st
century are: where this growth will lead, whether it can be
consolidated or sustained, and what kind of world our present is
bequeathing to our future. In A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright
argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a
ten-thousand-year experiment we have ridden but seldom controlled. Only
by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster 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. The Massey Lectures are the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's equivalent to the ABC's Boyer Lectures. Established in
1961, they are named in honour of Vincent Massey, former
governor-general of Canada. [T;%]
0510 -
PACIFIC BEAT* - focuses in on the island nations which depend on the
Pacific Ocean for their existence drawing on Australian reporters and
correspondents based throughout the region. [T;%]
