I listened to the description of Canterbury-Bankstown’s defeat of Manly-Warringah, by twelve points to eleven, at Brookvale Oval.
Venturing upstairs I then viewed a repetition from the series, “Ask The Leyland Brothers”. It takes the viewer to Broken Hill, the town built on mining, in the far west of New South Wales. Broken Hill also lends its name to the large company, B.H.P., which was founded there. The programme also looks at a working bullock team in Tasmania, and the lighthouse at Cape Otway, in Victoria.
From 7.30 p.m., in the series, “Hawaii Five-O”, a victim shoots policemen, at night, from his wheelchair. At half past eight, on Channel Nine, “The Amazing Howard Hughes: Part 1”, begins to take a quite engrossing look into the life of the producer and director of films, investor, business magnate, engineer and philanthropist. Howard Hughes died a year ago at the age of seventy.
