Steve Whitham, good evening.
Unanswered questions tonight from the parents of the young American tourist
taken by a crocodile in Western Australia.
They want to know why their daughter was allowed to go swimming in an area
known to be infested with crocodiles.
The phone rang in the home of Clara and Charles Meadows
in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.
Australia on the line.
The news was the very worst.
It was their daughter who'd been the victim of the crocodile attack
that had made headlines around the world.
Well, I've never expected that what has happened...
I mean, you can run into a tragedy anywhere, anytime,
but this kind of tragedy, I think, should have been avoided
with a proper lookout for safety.
Ginger Meadows died on Sunday, the day before her 25th birthday,
at the mouth of the Regent River in Australia's Top End Wilderness.
She'd been swimming near the luxury cruiser Lady G.
The three-meter crocodile flashed through the water,
took the girl, reappeared briefly, then disappeared.
Authorities today intensified their search for the body.
There's little hope of success,
which makes Dwayne McCauley's mission to Australia
all the more sad and futile.
He was Ginger's husband until their recent separation.
He arrived in Sydney this morning, close to tears,
and desperate to head to Western Australia.
In other 7 National News tonight,
outrage from the state opposition today over the disclosure
that condom packets to be handed out at a shopping centre
carry a four-letter word.
The condoms have been prepared by the State AIDS Council
under a government grant of $42,000.
Liberal spokesman Bruce Eastick was given one of the condoms
by a father of four.
They were to have been handed out at the Elizabeth shopping centre
on Friday, but have now been withdrawn.
A 42-year-old woman was slightly injured near Old Norlunga
this afternoon after losing her footing
in a steep gorge of the Onkaparinga River.
The woman on holiday from England was taking part in a camel safari.
She attempted to climb the gorge but lost her footing.
She was eventually walked to safety by rescuers.
And a 2.5-metre shark was caught in the Onkaparinga River
at Old Norlunga early today.
Two local fishermen, Michael Price and Jim Ortis,
snagged the shark in a popular swimming area
near the South Road Bridge.
The spot where the shark was caught
is about 12 kilometres upstream from the river mouth.
The two men say there's another shark in the river
and they'll be out to catch it.
A house at Brahma Lodge has been severely damaged by fire tonight.
The Metropolitan Fire Service says three rooms were burnt
and the roof has collapsed.
No-one was home at the time of the fire.
Okay, what's the latest on the weather?
Well, it's quite a chilly night with some inland fog patches.
Early morning cloud, the chance of a little bit of drizzle
around the southeast coast tomorrow will be mainly fine.
Again, that early cloud but certainly a mainly sunny afternoon.
Winds tomorrow, light southeast tending northeasterly
with a moderate sea breeze and mainly calm seas.
All followed by a light northeasterly
with mainly fine and sunny conditions on Thursday.
But for the next 24 hours, Adelaide tonight down to 11.
Our top tomorrow, just 23 degrees.
Thanks very much, Keith.
That's all from 7 National News from Steve Whitam.
Good night to you.
Within the gloomy confines of the sunset home for the aged,
there exists a dark and foreboding secret.
Nothing here is what it seems.
Kept hidden and known only to this woman.
People die here all the time.
But that secret is about to be exposed.

This week on Beyond 2000, the modern methods of Moet-Champagne.
Timeless India joins the space race.
And Lamborghini goes off the road.
Hello again and welcome to Beyond 2000.
Also in this program, Japan's dramatic bid to control the power of fusion, the ultimate energy source.
And Sweden cleans itself up at 20,000 degrees Celsius.
But first, all aboard with Ian on the best high-performance luxury yacht in the world.
The Camaro is definitely in front. They've got it. They're right in front. Now, can they control it for the next three and a quarter hours?
During the recent battle for the America's Cup off Fremantle in Western Australia,
attention was naturally focused on the two 12-meter yachts that were fighting it out.
But there were also some pretty eye-catching boats amongst the huge spectator fleets that gathered to watch the races.
And perhaps the most dramatic was this huge luxury motor cruiser,
which was used during the races as the official boat of the Royal Perth Yacht Club.
The boat's been called Parts 6 by its new owner, a Connecticut businessman, who's just taken delivery of it.
It's only the second boat to come from the yards of Oceanfast, a dynamic and innovative new shipbuilding company based here in Perth.
But already it's being described as state-of-the-art, as the best high-performance luxury motor yacht in the world.
In such a highly competitive international market, that's a tall order to live up to.
And yet, probably the only vessel approaching the 46-meter or 150-foot long Oceanfast 4000 model
would be its smaller predecessor from the same yards, the 33-meter or 108-foot Oceanfast 3000.
Both vessels are sleek and fast, with cruising speeds in excess of 30 knots.
But what makes them stand out in the crowd is the dramatic interior design of both boats.
Almost every detail of the boats is the work of the Australian designer John Bannenberg, whose international office is based in London.
He designs not only the exterior shape and appearance of the vessel, but the cushions, the upholstery, the hand-woven carpets, the bedspreads, bathroom fittings, even the door handles.
All of which are created individually for each boat. Over $1 million was spent on final fittings for the vessel.
The whole key to boat building is that the inside reflects what the outside looks like, or when you're inside you sit in a position which lines up with the windows,
you sit on a seat which is the right height, and presumably you drink from something which is in harmony with where you're sitting.
So I see it as just one total design package. I can't see how it can be integrated other than that.
Surprisingly, the boats are built several kilometres inland from the sea in these large factory structures, where three new vessels are under construction,
including a futuristic ferry, the biggest luxury vessel so far, a 49 metre 160 foot, 10,000 horsepower motor yacht, on which work has only just begun,
and the second of the Oceanfast 3000 models, which is well underway.
One of the major areas of innovation in the Oceanfast vessels has been the almost total use of aluminium as the main structural material.
And while many other vessels use aluminium, the detailed, almost sculptured use of the metal in areas such as these windows is unusual.
In addition to aluminium, they've made widespread use of lightweight composite sandwich materials like this.
F-board it's called. It's made of reinforced kevlar on both sides containing an aluminised honeycomb core, which is light but incredibly strong.
It's the sort of material that's been widely used in jet airliners, but until now not in boats.
And in these boats, it's been able to affect an overall weight savings of about 30%, making them far, far lighter than boats of similar length and volume.
If it was built using conventional techniques and materials, the 90 tonne Oceanfast 3000 would weigh around 120 tonnes,
while the 140 tonne 4000 would weigh closer to 200 tonnes.
But the key to the new boat's success are the water jets.
The Oceanfast 4000 is the first modern private motor yacht of this size to be equipped with water jet propulsion.
The three high performance diesels plus the jet system alone cost $1.5 million.
But they are more efficient, produce less vibration, and in the long run are lower in running and maintenance costs than conventional propeller systems.
And they really give the boat a high performance capability, like being able to make tight and high speed turns at sea, or turn within its own length in port.
The boats are also equipped with state of the art navigation and electronic equipment,
including direct satellite communication, computerised charts, digital range and depth finding apparatus, and colour radar.
The breakthrough in nautical design represented by these two craft has attracted international attention in the luxury boating fraternity,
from the oil barons of the Middle East to the millionaires of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
Attention which should keep the Oceanfast yards in Western Australia busy for quite some time.
Well, apart from the three boats already under construction, Oceanfast has orders for a further three vessels at a total cost of some $60 million.
It's certainly the way to travel, and next time I've got a spare $10 million or so, I'll probably get one.
Coming up next, the legendary bubbles of Moet Champagne.

It's hard to believe, but these strange looking objects are actually a pair of speakers.
And they're playing that music you can hear now.
Welcome to what must be the oddest sound system ever developed.
These are thin, light film type speakers from Japan.
And if I take one out, you can see just how thin and light they really are.
0.1 millimetres in thickness to be exact.
Now it might look like a piece of paper to you or I, but it's actually a long chain polymer film type material
impregnated with a type of plastic called piezo.
The characteristics of this new type of material allow sound to be generated from both sides
when the polymer material is activated by an electrical current.
Now when I bend the film, the tone and volume change.
As you might expect, the speakers only have a fairly light sound.
You certainly won't keep the neighbours awake with these.
So why were they developed? Well, just for fun.
You could print on both sides of the material so in the future you could sit down at a restaurant
and the menu could read itself to you, including the daily specials.
Or imagine wallpapering an entire room with the film.
This Shakespearean quote, if these walls could not speak, just might become a reality.
This single beautiful cloister is all that's left of the courtyard where once walked
the 17th century Benedictine monk Dom Parignan.
The courtyard and the abbey have disappeared, but the tradition of champagne,
which Dom Parignan is credited as having founded 300 years ago, remains virtually unchanged.
This man is a champagne remuer. That means he turns the bottles.
He's the highest paid employee in the champagne cellars today,
and his skills can make or break a champagne wine.
Turning the bottles, or remuages, is one of the most critical stages in the making of champagne.
It stops the buildup of the millions of sticky yeast cells, the sediment,
and promotes the fermentation process.
For eight weeks the bottles are turned and tilted, until at the end of the process
the yeast cells are inert and all the sediment has accumulated at the neck of the bottle
ready for removal.
Remuage is a precise exacting art, but with two major disadvantages.
The time that it takes and the space taken up in the cellars by these slopey racks
required to sip the champagne in during remuage.
But of course, if that turning were not to take place, you'd end up with a champagne like this,
with a sticky sediment adhering to the sides of the bottle and impossible to remove.
And of course if you were to open a bottle of champagne with that amount of sediment in it,
well you'd simply lose most of the contents.
As it is, the current method of removing the sediment is thought with hazard,
and there's considerable wastage of wine.
The technique requires the freezing of the wine and sediment in the upturned neck of the bottle.
Once the cap is removed, the pressure forces the core of ice out of the bottle,
taking the sediment with it.
This process is called degorgement.
The clear champagne is then recorped for final aging in the bottle.
In the laboratories above the ancient cellars of the world's largest champagne house, Moët et Chandon,
scientists have come up with what could only be described as the most radical change yet
in the history of champagne making.
The yeast, instead of floating randomly as millions of cells within the wine,
is now mixed with a natural polymer extracted from marine algae.
The instant this mixture of yeast and polymer is dropped into solution,
it bonds as a tiny porous bead.
At the pilot production plant, a simple mechanical pump draws the beads into a measure
and squirts them down into a bottle.
Now when these beads are placed in the bottles of wine,
the fermentation process can continue completely normally,
but when the wine's fermentation is complete and ready for degorgement or recorking,
then the process of removing the yeast from the wine is far simpler.
You can see there, there are around about 200 beads in this bottle of wine,
and the degorgement requires very little turning,
simply an upturning of the bottle like this, and the yeast can be simply removed.
This is the clinical tasting room in the laboratories of Moët et Chandon.
Today, senior wine scientists will undergo what has now become a regular task,
to blind test the new champagne,
a champagne that has never undergone the traditional chlémouage.
It is indeed a high-tech champagne, the product of some of the most sophisticated biotechnology.
And it's a wine which you'll soon be drinking,
provided these scientists believe the new champagne has reached a point
of there being no discernible difference between it and the old wine.
Moët et Chandon's chief winemaker says he believes there's now
no quality or taste difference between the champagne produced using the beads
and that produced using the traditional yeast.
The cost savings to the company in a world market that's growing dramatically each year will be enormous.
But in the shadow of the magnificent vineyards of Eponay,
I wonder what the old abbot Dom Perignon would think of these changes.
So just to help me ponder that one,
the old Rémouet and I snuck away into one of Moët's most famous caves.
Here, Napoleon, on his march to Germany, stopped by frequently to sample the champagne.
The Dégorgement was performed just like this,
by candlelight with a sharp knife flicking off the cork.
The 1952 champagne certainly had plenty of kick left in it.
But just to be sure, we tried three or four.
I didn't really notice what it tasted like, but it sure felt wonderful.
Coming up next, Ian puts the finger on Japanese fusion.
When Dave walks out this door, he'll have two things, fond memories and his super,
the biggest sum of money he's ever had.
People wanted him to invest in this and that, but he rolled over straight into AMP.
I'm no gambler. I just know that with AMP Investment Powerhouse, I get security and performance.
And that's what I want. I'm happy.
Roll over with the AMP Investment Powerhouse.

Japan, it's often been said, is a land of contrast.
And I can't think of a better example than this traditional ceremony
at the Sensoji Temple in Tokyo.
And the fact that, little more than 100 kilometres to the north of here,
Japanese scientists are making a bold and dramatic bid to control fusion power.
The ultimate energy source of the future.
This huge new experimental fusion facility called the JT60
has been built by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute at Nakamachi.
Its aim is to achieve what 11 other advanced fusion research establishments
around the world in the United States, Europe and the Soviet Union
have so far failed to do.
That is, to tame the power of the hydrogen bomb.
The race between them is to be the first to heat a thin plasma of hydrogen gas
to a point where a chain reaction begins.
And its own heat carries the process on.
It's very different from conventional nuclear power.
In nuclear fission, as in the explosion of an atomic bomb,
a complex heavy atom of uranium is split to release energy.
In the fusion process, simple atoms of hydrogen,
the lightest and most common element in the universe,
each consisting of one proton and one electron,
are confined and tumbled around under great heat.
The process releases huge quantities of energy,
but comparatively little radiation.
The complexity of fusion research establishments
and the pure science, technology and engineering involved
rivals that of the space programme.
During test firing sequences, the JT60 chamber is closed off
and completely emptied of people because of the enormous amounts
of electrical energy being concentrated in there.
Some 30 megawatts of power heating the plasma to about 70 million degrees Celsius
in most of today's tests.
And this is the only viewing port into the chamber.
In the JT60, as well as other fusion research establishments
around the world, they're trying to control the tremendous heat
that will be generated up to 100 million degrees Celsius,
that's hotter than the centre of the sun,
by using powerful magnetic forces and what's known as the tokamak concept
to contain the thin plasma of hydrogen gas inside a doughnut-shaped ring,
or torus, that's buried in the centre of this maze of equipment.
This is the interior view of that torus.
Two forms of magnets are wrapped around the ring.
Poloidal coils to confine the plasma and prevent it from touching the walls
of the chamber, and toroidal coils to adjust and shape the plasma more accurately.
Then built around the torus are various other systems, seen here separately.
The neutral beam injection heating system, the radio frequency heating system,
both of which combine to create the enormous heat required.
And the diagnostic system, to measure every aspect of the whole process.
This model of the JT60 is probably as good a way as any
of demonstrating the principle of tokamak fusion reaction.
First the blue lights show the evacuation of the torus chamber.
Then the red toroidal field magnets, which confine the plasma inside the chamber.
And the yellow poloidal magnets, which control the shape of the plasma.
Then on the right, the green lights show the injection of some 200 cc's of hydrogen
into the vacuum of the chamber.
Spiral ohmic heating coils then begin raising the temperature of the plasma.
As on the left, a neutral beam injection heating system, and on the right,
two types of radio frequency heating systems keep building the temperature
until it reaches the so-called break-even point, where the fusion reaction
begins to occur and then runs on its own heat.
When the reactor's not operating, these doors of solid steel,
about two and a half feet or almost a metre thick, are slid open
to give scientists and technicians access to work on the machine.
But just to give you some idea of the size of the device,
this is just one of the toroidal magnetic coils that surround the plasma chamber.
The inner diameter is four metres or 13 feet,
the outer diameter is six metres, almost 20 feet, and it weighs 90 tonnes.
And there are 18 of these inside, a total of 5,000 tonnes for the whole device.
Fusion research requires an investment of tens of billions of dollars,
and yet the Japanese haven't hesitated or tried to cut corners.
The JT60 is one of the biggest and most complex fusion devices yet built,
and in several areas the most advanced in the world.
It has produced, for example, the cleanest plasma in the world,
that is, with the least impurities, a development which could significantly
increase the amount of energy that is produced by the plasma.
Japan has been something of a late starter in the fusion energy stakes,
but the success of the JT60 program so far,
and the enormous effort and resources that they're pouring into it,
could see Japan beating the United States and Europe to the so-called break-e-break.
Japan has been a very successful partner in the fusion of the two worlds,
and the Japanese have been a very successful partner in the fusion of the two worlds.
So, can you see Japan beating the United States and Europe to the so-called break-even goal,
and grasping leadership in the complex technology required to produce
what could be the ultimate answer to the world's energy problems?
The Great Barrier Reef at low tide.
Australia's natural wonder burns in the hot Queensland sun.
But how, you might wonder, does the coral, a living organism,
cope with the heat, the glare, and the radiation
during a time when it's virtually out of the water?
Nice piece of staghorn coral.
Beautiful, decorative, but apart from that, quite useless.
At least it was useless until quite recently,
when some very clever scientists up here in northern Queensland
discovered that this coral has some quite remarkable properties
when it comes to keeping out ultraviolet light.
These samples of coral have been taken from the John Brewer Reef off Townsville.
They're selected from three different depths,
one metre, five metres, and fifteen metres.
On the surface is the Lady Baston,
one of two floating laboratory operated by the Institute.
On board, the samples are subjected to a number of tests.
Then they're taken ashore to the Institute itself.
And there's a piece of staghorn coral, a fairly typical piece.
Notice the brown colouration, that's the algae which the coral's feeding upon.
The algae, of course, needs sunlight to photosynthesise,
but it doesn't need ultraviolet light.
So it's developed these powerful compounds called mycoscorine amino acids
which resist, or offer some resistance, to ultraviolet light.
The coral needs the algae as much as the algae needs the coral.
When the coral dies, the brown algae drops off,
leaving a familiar bleached white skeleton.
In the shallow waters of the reef, scientists conducted a number of experiments.
Generally speaking, coral found at greater depths
has less resistance to ultraviolet than that closer to the surface.
The compounds found in coral have enormous commercial potential
for use in sunscreen lotions, in paints, and in perspex.
It's brought international acclaim for two young Americans working at Ames,
Dr Bruce Chalker, marine biologist,
and Dr Walt Dunlap, organic chemist.
Once we knew that there was a band of absorbers there,
then the idea of using it in people came to both of us.
I think it wasn't possible to make this commercially viable
until Walt found the route to synthesis.
At Ames, the coral samples are soaked in solvent which removes the pigments.
Then the visible and ultraviolet spectra are scanned on a spectrophotometer.
Then the components are separated on a high-performance liquid chromatograph,
and the individual chemical components are isolated.
Having found out what's in the compounds, they're reproduced synthetically.
But extracting the compounds won't mean digging up the reef and taking the coral away.
It can all be made in the laboratory.
Most suntan creams and lotions use amino benzoic acid derivatives.
Turn over please.
But at least one authority in the United States is now saying
that although these creams may prevent sunburn, they can in fact cause skin cancer.
Still, in a few years' time, who knows?
We may be spreading artificial coral onto our backs.

The three-dimensional holographic art of Europe's leading holographers
Michael Wenyon and Susan Gamble has been supported by the Rockefeller Foundation
of New York and acclaimed worldwide.
According to Michael Wenyon, this space age art form, created with the aid of lasers,
paves the way for developments such as multi-dimensional television.
Michael, what do you think is the next likely development after holographic movies and television?
Well, as soon as you start thinking about these ways of creating illusory images,
you get closer and closer back to the brain,
which is the ultimate organ that perceives things in the world.
So you've got two approaches, really.
One on the one hand is to try and make things in the outside world that give you the illusion of seeing something.
The other is the idea of trying to give the sensory data directly to the brain,
which would give that kind of impression.
And that's the term obonics has been coined for that.
Obonics would be the direct implantation of that sensory data to the brain.
Ultimately, with obonics, with the picture of a television,
you could dispense with the screen altogether.
There's no need for an external screen.
The image would electrically somehow be transmitted straight into the brain.
There is a lab research being carried out on the technology that will be needed for obonics.
If it was successful, it would allow blind people to see,
because they would be given the signal directly to their brain.
So, who knows, in the future, when someone says they've got the On 2000 on their mind,
they might really mean it.
Up next, in Sweden, precious metals are being reborn.
You know, I just saw the greatest thing while I was shopping at Woolies.
They're helping to raise half a million dollars for a special care ward at the Adelaide Children's Hospital
by giving away money.
It's called Woolies Double Bonus.
And every time you shop at Woolies, you get a scratch-off ticket,
which could win you up to $500, and up to $500 for the Children's Hospital.
So every time you win, the hospital wins.
It's Woolies Double Bonus.
Now there's a fresh idea.
It was accidental, they say he's man's best mate.
It shouldn't happen to a dog, some would call it fate.

There's a lot of bad luck going round, but I'm lucky I'm with Amy.

Each year the world produces about 5,000 of these waste mountains from the steel industry alone.
The problem is that this waste contains highly toxic metals like lead, zinc and cadmium.
And most of this waste is simply buried beneath the ground and forgotten about.
But such is the concern that those toxins could be leached out into our ground water,
potentially poisoning local water supplies.
But legislation is currently being considered in the United States,
banning forever the burial of this waste.
Well here in Landskrona, a rather ugly industrial city in southern Sweden,
a safe method of disposal of this waste has been developed.
A domestic steel industry has traditionally been a symbol of industrial strength in most advanced nations.
But in some countries these industries pay up to $100 a tonne to dispose of their waste dust.
That's an annual rubbish disposal bill of $50 million in the United States alone.
But at this Swedish plant called Scandust there's money in rubbish.
The rubbish is recycled, at least the metals in it are,
so that out of every tonne of rubbish 50% of it is recovered in a pure metallic state.
Waste is brought here from all over Sweden and even other parts of Europe.
It's poured into hoppers and begins its journey through a network of conveyor belts
into a plasma furnace where the pure metals are extracted.
This is one of several furnaces here at Scandust.
You can see here the portholes where the three plasma torches are set to shoot their flames into the centre of the furnace.
And in a few hours' time when the furnace is switched on,
the temperature where I'm standing will be about 3000 degrees Celsius or 5500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The furnace is fired by coke which is fed in through funnels at the top.
Around the sides of the container up to six plasma torches are directed into the firing chamber.
The mineral elements of zinc, lead, chromium, cadmium and molybdenum are extracted in a gaseous state.
They're cooled into a hot liquid and poured into ingots of solid metal.
Now 3000 degrees Celsius sounds hot, but it's nothing compared with the 20,000 degrees Celsius
or 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the heart of the plasma torch.
That's so hot that it was used to simulate the temperatures felt by the nose cone of the space shuttle
during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
Safely away from the heat, the operations of the furnace are controlled remotely.
Computers set the firing times and all other variables.
Well you may be wondering why I'm wearing this.
This is a solid aluminium suit worn as protective clothing by the workers who will be opening into the core of the furnace
to bring out the molten metal.
The opening of the furnace is a fairly routine operation, although this is quite a new plant,
and the workers are understandably just a little cautious because they're being exposed to extraordinarily high temperatures.
The initial opening of the furnace is very tense work.
The technique is crude and potentially dangerous.
A hole is simply drilled into the brick and metal sides of the plant, releasing the molten metal to be poured into a ladle.
But on this occasion, while it looked spectacular, the yield seemed very low.
From here the metal is recycled.
On present world markets, lead and zinc aren't fetching huge prices,
but some of the more precious metals from politically sensitive markets will have an increased value.
The real advantage though isn't economic but environmental.
Industry can reuse these materials and our groundwater will remain just that bit safer from the poisonous byproducts of industry.
But the question remains, now that this recycling technology is available,
will industry be prepared to pay for it and leave our world a cleaner place?

But Lamborghinis don't run on the sand.
They do now, but it's not the Countach. It's a four-wheel drive Lamborghini called the LM.
Lamborghinis are sleek, fast, and let's admit it, sexy.
But I don't think all of those adjectives would fit this great ox of a vehicle.
More like imposing, sturdy, and oh yes, you could use fast.
Fast, not just on perfectly paved highways, but fast on sand, 190 kilometers an hour.
Although the LM and the Countach don't resemble one another on the outside, inside they're the same.
They're both fitted with 5.2 liter, 336 kilowatt V12 engines.
The Countach can accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers in 5.6 seconds.
Its top speed is 295 k's per hour.
The LM isn't quite that swift, but it does well considering it's pulling its weight of two and a half tons.
It goes to 100 k's in less than eight seconds.
But the LM certainly surpasses the Countach in one aspect.
It can take on ground the Countach would never attempt to tackle.
Although the LM is made for rough conditions, you'd never know it by the interior.
It has four plush bucket seats, all leather.
As a matter of fact, everything's trimmed in leather, and it's Australian leather, may I add.
It's fully carpeted, and the accessories, including the dashboard, are polished wood.
Another feature that makes it different from a conventional four-wheel drive is that it has three gear levers.
This one is your standard five-speed pattern.
This one is for normal to low reduction.
This one is for switching from rear-wheel drive to four-wheel drive to four-wheel drive locked.
Who would want to buy a luxurious road monster like this with a price tag of $120,000 U.S.?
Well, a person who already has the Countach for highway driving, but now wants to have a little fun off-road.
Lamborghini says another potential customer is the Saudi police.
They're very fast, sand-going vehicles.
A big market Lamborghini's trying to tap into is the military.
And why not?
The LM proves that it can take the same rough ground as other military vehicles.
It's even strong enough to tow a tank.
The Lamborghini Countach is crafted like a piece of fine jewelry, with time, quality, and care.
The art of making one of the world's most desired cars has been passed down from father to son and even some daughters.
Everything is done by hand.
No General Motors assembly lines here.
About 1,000 man hours goes into creating a Lamborghini.
The LM is given the same attention.
So if you had your choice, what would it be?
The sporty Countach?
Or the powerful LM?
Well, at $120,000 U.S., I guess I'll just stick with the book.
Coming up next, India joins the space race.
Hey Pete, where's the cheese?
That was Australian cheese, of course, because I reckon it's even better than the imported stuff.
And cheese isn't just there to keep the bread apart.
Cheese adds texture and flavor and real food value to all these natural products.
Now, I'll show my mob where the cheese is.
Where's the cheese, Pete?

Quincy, 9.30 tonight on 7.
India is a country of extraordinary contradictions.
The cows and bullocks share the general mayhem on the roads with modern, indigenously designed and manufactured vehicles.
And although the architecture is mostly centuries old, the skyline occasionally reminds you that India is very much part of the 20th century.
In fact, India is a fully-fledged member of the International Space Club.
They qualified back in July 1980 with the launch of their 40 kilogram Rohini satellite on board an Indian-built solid fuel rocket known as SLV-3.
Now India has seven satellites orbiting the subcontinent.
And just about all the tracking and orbit adjustment infrastructure for each is fabricated in India.
And if it isn't, it soon will be.
But then most of the country subsist on farms and live in villages like this one near Ahmedabad in northeastern India.
So you can't help wondering why India would invest so heavily in space technology.
This is Kaila, a charming little place that's filled up with rowdy and very friendly children.
Things haven't changed a jot here in centuries.
They still survive on what they grow in the field or produce from their animals.
But since 1976, they've had an electronic diversion from their toils and an advantage over some other villages.
They have a TV set.
Music
And just after sunset, the entire village congregates here in the square to trade their milk and also to begin watching what's become known as the Action Program.
It's a link with the outside world for the village.
It's a great source of entertainment.
It's a forum to air their grievances.
And it's also part of a bold experiment to share information with these remote villages using the Indigenous television programs and India's space program.
The nightly programming is a mixture of information about farming technologies like new fertilizers, how to utilise methane energy, how to deal with corrupt politicians, an emphasis on participating in their own destiny.
Musical and drama events staged by villages for other villages.
The broadcasts are beamed from the Space Application Centre in Imnabad about 50 kilometres away.
The centre is part of the Indian Space Research Organisation and some of India's top payload engineers work here.
Indian satellites like the Rohini and the Bhaskara had all their programs and components fabricated here.
What I find interesting about this organisation is that not only are they producing world class hardware and software for satellites,
but they're also intimately and passionately involved in their quite unique responsibility to try to raise the consciousness of rural India.
And that's a classroom of over 500 million people.
The equivalent would be like NASA or Ariane being intimately involved in village education programs.
But India is such a vast country that the decision makers have opted for a crash education course to try to make villages video literate,
when as little as 10 years ago they'd never even seen a moving picture.
Karan Karnak has been with the project since it began beaming into 2400 remote outposts back in 1976.
By and large television has been used in the mode of giving information, of giving news.
And here we're attempting to see if we can use the medium to motivate and mobilize people,
which means to really involve them in what you're doing to try and see if they can become part of the developmental process
and not the, quote, recipients, but really part of the whole process that generates development.
We have engine start two, one.
Possibly the most dramatic stride forward for India in terms of spreading the word to the people
is with the launch of the Indian satellite, INSAT-1B.
INSAT was designed with Indian expertise for a specific role.
Ford Aerospace built the package, which was launched on the Shuttle Challenger in October 1983.
Suddenly this ancient civilization had its own platform from which it received a quantum improvement in telecommunications,
weather pictures, storm warning, and the ability to transmit directly to remote villages.
At the same time, the Indian government quite zealously pursued a policy to learn more about the country's finite
and renewable resources using remote sensing from space.
At the moment, they're still utilizing images from the United States Landsat 4 satellite
to gain information on forests, the yield of crops, snowmelt, and water resources.
For example, this is a thematic false color map of Rajasthan and Gujarat,
and they're two states that have been stricken by drought for the last three years,
and the local people really are in a terrible predicament.
But by using this information, experts here have been able to trace ancient dried-up riverbeds
and to locate quite abundant groundwater supplies.
And many of the decisions of how India will nurture their resources
will be made on information received and processed here in Bangalore in central India.
Bangalore, while still something of an echo of the British Raj, is also a technology town.
