A dramatic panorama written by R. L. Megroz and produced by John Richmond
Most of the present social and industrial characteristics of Australia can be traced to the discovery of gold in the middle of the nineteenth century.
This programme will tell the story of the great Australian gold rush and give an impression of some of the many people who took part in it, including the notorious bushrangers who continually held up those employed at the diggings.
This dramatic portraya of the gold-rush conditions will take up the second part of the programme. The first part will be occupied by a description of how, even before the reported discovery of gold by a settler named Hargreaves in 1851 a geological survey of Eastern Australia discovered the existence of gold he news of which was suppressed at the request of Sir George Gipps ,
Governor of New South Wales. (Empire Programme)

by Kathleen Cooper
Kathleen Cooper made her first public appearance at the age of eight. She won an open scholarship at the Royal College of Music and studied under Howard Jones and Fanny Davies and later went to Paris where she studied under Cortot. While at the Royal College of Music, Kathleen Cooper carried off a number of prizes, including the Challen Gold Medal for the most distinguished pupil of the year. Her second study was the viola, which instrument she has played in chamber music until quite recently.
She is well known as a soloist in most of the principal towns in England and Scotland and on several occasions she has appeared with success in Vienna and Florence. Although eclectic in her tastes, she has specialised in Brahms's music and also in the music of old and new French and English composers.
