Connellan's Camels
Narrated by Duncan Carse
Thirty-eight years ago, Eddie J. Connellan piloted a single-engined aeroplane out of Alice Springs on the first regular mail flight over Australia's remote Northern Territory. Connellan's wings replaced the camel trains which up until 1939 had been the only reliable way of traversing the dry red centre of Australia.
The 100,000 people scattered over half a million square miles owe their existence to the remarkable immigrant camel and to Eddie Connellan who saw a developing Northern Territory, peopled by men and women not unduly penalised by isolation and the inconveniences of living in the Outback.

Festa in Montepulciano Hans Werner Henze's
International Workshop
' I wanted to make myself useful to society, as an artist. It's so difficult for a composer to make himself useful! Many people think it's sufficient to write good scores, but I think there must be something more. So in this case I have been doing something outside my own work. I wanted to touch these lovely people by their roots and make them open up, and to make the place an example for civilisation.'
Last summer the composer Hans Werner Henze created an unusual music workshop in the beautiful Tuscan town of Montepulciano. With the help of 200 international artists and the Communist town council, he tried to bring back some of the cultural activities which industrialisation had drained out of the town. A workshop for the local people, not a festival. HENZE guides us through some of the events, and re-creates the unique atmosphere of enthusiasm and chaos whirh reigned in Montepulciano.
With extracts from:
Il Palazzo Zoologico , a children's opera by THOMAS JAHN to a libretto by English children, designed by local schoolchildren, directed by VOLKER SCHLONDORFF
Don Quixote , an opera by PAISI-ELLO, re-scored by Henze to include the local brass band, staged in the town Piazza
Il Turco in Italia, comic opera by ROSSINI
Tradimenti, a ' happening' to music by PETER MAXWELL DAVIES
Master classes, concerts and recitals by Julian Bream , Peter Maxwell Davies , Homero Francesch , Gerald English
