Tale of the Australian Outback
¢ NEAR the town of Colac (Victoria, Australia) is an old deserted homestead, once magnificent, but now nothing much more than a wayside can?p for passing swagmen. In the home paddock is a headstone which records the death, on September 3, 1855, at the age of 21, of Kathie .... , wife of the former owner. A cryptic inscription runs, "Forgiving and Forgiven." From this, and certain other collected facts, Elizabeth Hanson, Australian story-writer, has produced a serial for radio, The Legend of Kathie Warren. It opens in 1853 with the arrival from England of a young bride to take up Australian outback life. And then the story follows a line of intrigue between wife and handsome stranger, and trouble on the gold diggings, culminating in the events.at Eureka Stockade. There are four books in the serial, the first going under the general title of The Legend otf Kathie Warren: the other three are "Jane," "A Man Came Riding," and "A Love Had I." And as there are 208 episodes, we leave listeners to find out all+about them from their radios.
The serial is now being heard from 1ZB and 2ZB; it starts at. 3ZB on Monday, March 3; and at 4ZB on. Monday, March 17. It is on the air on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and listeningtime is 10.30 a.m.
