     AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with  
Roger Broadbent. This week: There’s one in Sydney, Melbourne,  
Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, and  Broome. You’ll also find one in many  
other parts of the world. London and San Francisco for instance. All  
these places are home to ‘China Town’ and in this week’s Australian
Express a food writer and author of a new book on the subject talks  
about his love of Chinatowns, about their origins and how they have  
changed over the years. Sadly there’s little love lost over the much  
maligned Cane Toad the nation's most prolific and despised introduced  
species. They poison pets and injure humans with their toxins and now  
inhabit one fifth of this continent. Introduced to Queensland 70  
years ago to combat the cane beetle Cane Toads are about to invade  
Western Australia where the ‘Anti-Cane Toad Foundation’ is gathering  
its forces to repel this slimy pest. And we find out what it’s like  
to work in remote Aboriginal communities in the final of our  
occasional series ‘Bush Work’.

     IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week: Professor  
Chris Del Mar is the Dean of the new Medical School at Bond  
University in southern Queensland. Students will go straight into  
medicine instead of doing a science degree first and will also be  
encouraged to value evidence as a prime guide to diagnosis and  
treatment. How is this different from other medical schools in  
Australia? [%]
0331 -
     HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "Sexual  
Function in Women". Is there such a thing as female androgen  
deficiency syndrome? It’s the latest buzz and relates low sexual  
function in women to a lack of male hormones. But when you measure  
male hormones in women, does it add up? [T;%]

0405 -
     BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special series  
from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music and Fashion.  
Program two--Heaven on Earth". Throughout history the church has  
inspired and probably paid for more music than any other  
establishment. But what sort of music is appropriate for God? Even if  
we believe God to be unchanging, religious music has been as subject  
to fashion as any other sort of music. Andrew Ford considers these  
changes, from mediaeval times to the present. [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;%]
