       ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region.

       AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with  
Roger Broadbent. This week: Bush Fires are an every present threat in  
Australia and during the summer months that threat, more often than  
not, becomes reality. In January 2003 Canberra suffered - four people  
died and many, many dwellings were destroyed. It is of course  
impossible to put a figure on the cost of these tragedies, especially  
the human cost, but some of the victims are going to court to try as  
we hear on this week’s edition of the Australian Express. We’ll also  
be taking a trip down the ‘Sunset Boulevard’, the Andrew Lloyd Webber  
musical that is about to open in Melbourne. Aussie Lifesavers pit  
their skills against teams from the rest of the world and we go in  
search of ‘muddies’, or Mud Crabs, as we fend off the mosquito's and  
saltwater crocodiles of the Northern Territory.
