Mike, who do we have here with a question for us?
This is Hazel Atkinson, out from West Preston here in Victoria,
and she's got a very interesting question for us about the Northern Territory.
I'm interested in Aboriginal arts and crafts,
and I heard that there is an Aboriginal industry on Bathurst Island making fashion clothes.
Bathurst Island lies in the Arafura Sea, 80 kilometres north of Darwin.
It takes about an hour to fly to Bathurst Island.
The island is the home of the Tiwi people, a proud race of Aboriginals.
A Catholic mission has been operating on the island since 1911,
and the dedicated missionaries have guided the Tiwi people into industries
suitable for the area and their skills.
One highly successful industry on Bathurst Island is beam-aware.
It employs 16 machinists making clothes and school uniforms for Darwin.
They also make fashion clothes for the tourist industry.
The modern building houses rows of sewing machines and specialised equipment for dressmaking.
Catholic sisters supervise the work and give advice if it's needed.
The idea of beam-aware came from an older sister who spent most of her life
working with the people here, Sister Eukarya.
She saw the potential of the local girls as she taught them sewing.
Why not turn their skills at sewing into a profitable industry for the island
that could bring in a cash income?
It was a daring idea that has become a great success.
Since the start of beam-aware in 1969, the school uniforms have been in great demand in Darwin,
and some of the fashion garments have found sales outlets in places such as Turak in Melbourne.
The word beamer has several local meanings.
It stands for Bathurst Island Mission Auxiliary, but in the local Tiwi language,
beamer means best of mothers.
The mission helps run the business side of beam-aware,
but it's hoped in the future that the Tiwi girls will be able to manage their own business affairs.
All the profits from beam-aware go to the Tiwi people.
The storeroom area of beam-aware is quite large, and they have orders for nearly every garment here.
The distinctive Tiwi design on the fashion clothes definitely helps to sell the products.
They stand out as something unique in a clothing store.
The artwork and designs for the clothes are also created on the island.
The separate industry that often works in with beam-aware is Tiwi Designs.
Tiwi Designs is a silkscreen workshop that employs a number of Tiwi men and women.
The rich abstract designs of circles, stripes and cross-hatching are often gathered from totemic designs
and episodes from Tiwi myths.
Tiwi Designs was also started in 1969 by an art teacher, Madeleine Clear.
They started by carving designs of animals and birds on wooden blocks,
which soon developed into the more intricate silkscreen printing on fabric.
The beautifully executed designs reflect the Tiwi's close understanding and observation of nature
and the bush around Bathurst Island.
The Tiwi Design and beam-aware combine to produce a unique product from a beautiful island,
and we wish them every success for their new industry.
We would also like to thank Hazel Atkinson for asking the Leyland Brothers to show beam-aware.
Travel all over the countryside, ask the Leyland Brothers.

We have here a letter from Mr. Keith Jones from Cardiff in New South Wales,
who has written to us telling us about a sculptor in Loxton here in South Australia.
He says, I was very impressed with the sculptures and I would describe them as free flowing abstract pieces
made from a wide range of unusual and beautiful timbers.
And then he suggests we might like to show the sculptor and his work on our program.
Well Mr. Jones, we're going to do just that and that's why we've come to Loxton.
This unassuming house in the centre of town is the home of Mick Elvie,
and as the small sign out the front says, he's a sculptor.
The front room of his home is a gallery containing a large number of his unusual
and beautiful pieces on display for visitors.
Mick Elvie is an unusual man.
He's 78 years old and only commenced sculpting after his retirement.
Prior to that time, he'd never even attempted to shape a piece of wood.
Since then, his work has won him wide acclaim.
Now to get these designs, I sometimes can't sleep and I then put my mind on to working out a design.
After completing the design in my head, I can hold it there until the morning.
When I come out to my workshop, I draw the design on the board and from there,
I transfer it onto the timber. I sculpture it out of my piece of timber.
The shape of the timber also influences the final carving.
Mick's pieces are carved mainly from old branches or tree roots that he finds along the banks of the Murray River.
He says this is good exercise and keeps him fit.
He can often be seen in the bush around Lockston with his tomahawk and a branch or two over his shoulder.
Mick spends many hours in his small shed carving and sanding the rough timber into smoothly flowing shapes.
In addition to the wood he collects himself, unusual timbers are often brought into him by friends
or by visitors who've seen his work and call back on later trips with pieces of timber from their own region of Australia.
For Mick, all timbers have an inherent beauty with their own distinctive colour and grain structure.
I have many types of timbers in this room.
This piece of timber is of orange which grows in the orange orchards at Lockston.
This is a piece of sugar sandalwood which grows in the outback scrub.
This is a piece of mulgur that comes from the Tanami Desert.
This is a piece of travet apricot. We also grow a lot of apricots along the river.
This is a piece of mangrove that comes from Brisbane in Queensland.
This is a piece of mali stump and this is a piece of timber which has much character and is going back to petrifying.
Mick Elby rarely sells his sculptures, preferring instead to keep them together as a growing collection for people to enjoy.
The grace and beauty of his work has already attracted many thousands of visitors to the gallery in his Lockston home.
Mick makes no money from his work as a sculptor.
The money he receives from visitors to his gallery is sent to the Crippled Children's Association.
In 1979 his hometown honoured him by naming Mick Elby Honorary Sculptor to the town of Lockston.
We'd like to thank Mick for allowing us to share his beautiful creations with our viewers.
And our thanks also go to Keith Jones for asking the Leyland Brothers.
Travel all over the countryside, ask the Leyland Brothers.

Oi, energiser! No battery life!
Sorry, but we had to shut him up.
You see, there is a battery that outlasts energiser.
It's this energiser, and here's proof.
We put more in this energiser so it lasts even longer, just like putting more petrol in a car.
So it goes further and lasts longer.
Oi!
Energiser. The long-lasting battery.

We're at King Creek Station in Saddle, Australia.
I come here because of a letter from Graham Burnett of Glebe in New South Wales.
Graham wrote to say, last year I was in Saddle, Australia and was lucky enough to book on an outback safari called Breakaway.
It was a fantastic experience.
The men who run the safari chase camels on their four-wheel drives.
It really gives you a thrill. I think it would make a great story for your show.
Well, Graham, this is the Breakaway camp out on King Creek Station.
We're going with them with our vehicle to see if we can find a few camels.
Neil Waters wakes the camp at 5am by chopping the firewood to make the breakfast billy tea.
It's necessary to have an early start if you're going to get out into the bush to see the countryside before it gets too hot.
Oh, cold water too.
Breakaway safaris have a rustic camp that appeals to most city people.
It gets them into the mood of the outback.
The warming rays of the sun wake a couple of young camels, captured a week ago by Neil and his boss, Ian Conway.
Righto, tacos on!
One thing's for sure about Ian Conway's cooking, he certainly doesn't shortchange you on the size of the serving.
Most of the tour group here this week are Germans who have booked for the five-day safari with Breakaway.
This is their third day, they're loving every minute of it.
Neil will be driving the truck today.
Ian has an eye injury and all your faculties are needed to chase the wild camels through the scrub.
We follow in our own Toyota to film the action.
The track we take to camel country runs beside the spectacular George Gill Range, the range that houses the famous King's Canyon.
Neil instructs all the passengers to keep a lookout for camels or any other wildlife they may see.
The scrubby country here can easily hide a mob of camels.
Neil takes the group to one of many nameless rocky hills to the south of the George Gill Range.
From this high vantage point he hopes to spot some wildlife.
Everyone scours the surrounding country for signs of camels.
Neil says he often sees camels from here, then he can plan a way to round them up with the vehicles.
There's not a camel to be seen, but one member spots a movement under some trees.
And on closer inspection we find a group of kangaroos relaxing in the shade.
The German tourists are delighted at seeing a kangaroo, complete with Joey in the pouch.
With no success at spotting camels from the hill, we move back towards the George Gill Range in the hope that we may pick up a group in the scrub.
Just as I'm beginning to think there are no camels in the area at all, Neil spots what appears to be two camels in the high scrub.
We carefully manoeuvre his toyotron position to round up the animals.
As we break away from the scrub, it's apparent there's a whole herd of camels, about a dozen or so.
Neil is soon in hot pursuit.
The ground is extremely bumpy and covered with rocks and broken wood.
Camels are not native to Australia. They have been bred up from original stocks brought in by the early settlers and explorers. In fact, they are regarded as a pest by most authorities in the centre.
The passengers are not sure whether to laugh or scream, but they all seem to be enjoying the experience.
After about ten minutes of chasing, the camels split up and disappear in the thick scrub.
The group are excited, but also a little relieved when it's over.
Then Neil discovers he has staked a front tyre during the chase.
Ripped and torn tyres are all part of the hazards of bush bashing after the camels, and everyone gets in to help.
On the way back to camp, we stop for a swim in Rocky Waterhole, a very pleasant spot in the George Gill Range.
Once back at Breakaway Safari Camp, the group gets a chance to see a camel up close.
This baby was captured a week ago by Ian and Neil during a chase.
Ian Conway's daughter, Maggie, loves to give the big baby his bottle.
Neil then gives everybody a demonstration on how to ride a wild camel.
This one was found wandering alone a few days before we arrived and doesn't like the idea one little bit.
Breakaway safaris in central Australia are certainly a safari with a difference.
