English is more multicultural than any other language.
For centuries it has taken words from other languages.

and today's international communication means that
new words are appearing every day. In fact English
contains words from marc than :ISO other languages!
'Goulash' from Hungarian. 'algebra' from Arabic and
'safari' from Swahili are just few. Sometimes English
even takes whole phrases. We use 'Ia dolce vita' from
Italian. and 'c'est la vie' from French; we even have
'feng shui' from Chinesc'

1953 Fleming was a tYPical English 'gentleman' He was

educated at Eton (an expensive school In England), then
worked as a Journalist before becoming a banker In
London However, during the war hiS life completely
changed when he worked as a spy In Russia He wrote
most of hiS novels about hiS own Interesting experiences.
Although the Bond novels were exciting action storteS
about spies they didn't become well known until they
were made Into films When the first film Dr No opened In
Britain In 1962, Fleming became famous overnight
However, it wasn't until Goldfinger In 1964 that James
Bond became successful around the world Goldfinger
broke box office records at home and abroad The phrase
'I'm Bond ... James Bond' was recognised
allover the world.
Will Bond films continue to
entertain us in the future? The
answer IS probably 'yes' There

because audiences will always
enJoy exciting thrillers The

biggest, with over 8,000 visitors. People came to listen,
take part or just take a break from day-to-day life on
America's ranches (large forms).

Many of the cowboys tell stories and read poems, but
there's also live music and singing, and workshops on

what are the poems about? Some of

working in the open country of
the prairies, the bad weather

and the long working days;
others are more positive and
describe tlle freedom of working
on the prairies.
The amazing thing about the
event is the number of different
cowboys who come from all

The world's longest

mail run

Eyery Saturday morning a small plane flies from Port
Augusta on the South Australian coast into the
outback. It carries letters and parcels to people who
liye in the loneliest and most dangerous part of
Australi~l. \\'riter 0,111 "vliddleton hitched a lift on the
world's longest mail run.
'It W,lS 8.30 am ,1I1el 30°C when we took off from Port
Augusta. It was hot and it was going to get hotter as
we headed towards the great Austral ian outback.
For hours we flew across the bush, landing every now
and then at a cattle station or a SIll,lJ1 town. In places
the landscape looked exactly like the moon, and was
just as empty. Some cattle stations, with their small
homes in the middle of nowhere, seemed like the
loneliest places on earth.
Our last stop was ~lt Birdsville, a small town on the
edge of the desert. After Birdsville, you are literally 'on
your own'. The town has a population of 70, and in
the summer the temperature reaches an incredible
50°C:. But this doesn't seem to worry the local people.
The people I talked to were proud of Birdsville, with
its primar~' school, its pub and its Flying Doctor
selTice. >\lany of them worked for the cattle stations in
the area .
.\fter Birds\'ille we headed back to Port Augusta ,llld
civilis'ltion. The mail run had been an exciting
experience. The dry, beautiful
landscapes, the wide open
sp,lces and the interesting
people are just some of the

things that make
the Australian
outback unique.'
