' Fire in the Desert'
Michael Terry
This is the first of three talks by Michael Terry , who has been in Australia for the last twenty years exploring the centre and north of the continent. He has led fourteen expeditions, which have had as their purpose the discovery of mineral wealth. At the same time they collected information about the weather, which was forwarded to the Commonwealth Weather Bureau, and surveyed the country they travelled through, making botanical collections and so on. Today Michael Terry will discuss some contrasting aspects of fire in the Australian bush. Fire in these wild parts may be divided into two kinds
—the fire men fight to make, and the fire that Nature makes for man to fight.

@ ' Monks and Monasteries '
E. A. CRADDOCK
' Guests, who shall be honourable people, on repairing to the house shall be received, and, as is fitting, let them be welcomed with an appearance of pleasure apd joy'. This was one of the regulations in force at Newstead Priory, an English monastery, in the middle of the thirteenth century. Another was: ' In the infirmary, for the ministration and relief of the sick, our honest and faithful servant with a boy under him shall be put, and he shall suffice to perform the welcome and set duties for the sick..... Also there shall be provided for the sick food suited to their complaints.'
Today's broadcast will tell listeners about the monks of the Middle Ages, the many-sided life of the monasteries and their influence. A visit will be paid to the abbey of St. Albans.
