‘John’ Fraser: Thursday, 23rd June, 1977

The First ‘Silver Jubilee’ Test was declared to be a draw overnight. Tiki drove the Chrysler ‘Galant’ to work with me seated beside her singing along to the songs being played on 2KY. “Raincoat In The River”, which was a moderately successful ditty for Australian Dig Richards, in 1962, was one I particularly enjoyed hearing again.

Prince Charles appears on the front page of “The Sun”, swimming with a blonde skinny-dipper in Fiji.

“Last Of The Wild”, this evening centres upon dolphins, whales and seals and how they are being trained by the U.S. Navy. Channel Seven’s ‘News’, which is read by Roger Climpson, from half past six, shows the President of The United States, Jimmy Carter, addressing Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, as “John” in welcoming him to the White House. It appears that no-one in Mr. Fraser’s entourage had informed the White House that the Prime Minister uses his second given name in place of his first.

“The Naked Vicar Show” follows “Willesee”, on Channel Seven, and, in turn, from half past eight, there is another programme in the series, “Policewoman”.
