Living with Waltzing Matilda The second of ten films in Australia's bicentennial year
Alan Whicker talks to a cross-section of enterprising Poms who have gone to live and work Down Under.
Jane Makim , born in London, lives a hard life in the remote and rugged outback of New South Wales with her rancher husband and two young children.
On 23 July 1986 she was in London on important family business - the wedding of her younger sister. But this was no ordinary wedding. Her sister, Sarah Ferguson , was marrying Prince Andrew. Back at the ranch in the drought plain on the Queensland border, Jane reflects on a life and lifestyle that could hardly be less like those of her more famous sister.
Captain John Alliston , RN, also decided to settle in a remote corner of Australia. At the end of the war he brought his new bride,
Eleanor, to a deserted island, a mere speck on the map off Tasmania, where they eked out a precarious living and raised a large and happy family. Today the Allistons enjoy a busy retirement.
John cultivates his garden; Eleanor writes romantic novels under the nom de plume of MINKA JONES.

Remember the Sabbath Day A religious powerhouse, a social centre, a springboard for artistic and political activity: in its heyday, the Nonconformist chapel dominated Welsh life. In mining communities like
Nantymoel, at the head of the Ogmore Valley, it was chapel three times on a Sunday and a week filled with temperance meetings, choir practices and 'penny readings'. But now the glory has departed. Saron and Gilead chapels lie derelict. Hope is a furniture showroom. Bethany keeps only its vestry and, on Sunday mornings, just two or three of Dinam's 850 pews are occupied. And yet as those few ageing voices are raised in harmony in the old language, there's a poignant echo of Sundays when this place was full. So what sustains the failing remnant in their determination to remember the Sabbath Day? Everyman visits Nantymoel to find out.
