"THE ALICE"

Dingoes and emus are far less frequent, but they are there, nevertheless. There must be thousands of different species of birds. I do not know all their names. There are common crows, grey and yellow honey-eaters, yellow robins, but no sign of the so-called "ubiquitous sparrow." In summer the lovely rainbow birds and blue kingfishers appear.

The kingfisher is a deep metallic blue, with a black tail, white breast and a black gangster-like mask over his eyes, a black beak and a white face.

The rainbow birds are even more gorgeous. In form they are very similar to kingfishers. They have long, thin, curved black beaks, the same little "gangster-mask" and a brown fan-like tail. Their breasts are light green, their backs, heads and spreading wings flash green and gold alternately in the sun.

The part between their backs and tails is bright turquoise. There are pink and grey galalis; and the striking black cockatoos—black all over except for a scarlet splodge under their fan-shaped tails. Perhaps the most fascinating are the flocks of wild budgerigars, flying in a green and yellow cloud, in perfect formation.

My home town, Alice Springs, is a small town in the centre of Australia. It is sometimes called "The Red Heart" of Australia, and, if you ever see it, you will know why. The earth is red, redder than any other earth.

The population is approximately five thousand, but the numbers are steadily increasing each year, as the tourists pour in from every direction, mostly from the south. Last year twenty thousand tourists came to "The Alice," as we call it locally. The tourists come in great herds, smooth-faced and with fat white legs, armed with tripods, cameras, walking sticks, fly-nets and other devices. Tourists cannot stand the flies and complain of them endlessly.

The people of the Alice get used to them after a while (the flies, and the tourists.)

The Alice Springs district is marked out on the map as "arid" and is allotted an annual ten-inch rainfall. It is true that this region is arid, it is semi-desert; but we certainly do not get ten inches of rain a year. We are extremely lucky if we get four inches! The earth is very fertile and does not need any superphosphate. But it does need plenty of water.

Most of the people in Alice Springs who do not own or work in shops, hotels, etc., have cattle stations — beef cattle. There is not sufficient rainfall to breed dairy cattle. For many years there has been a drought in which pastoralists lost thousands of cattle. Early this year we had about two inches of rain, then a little later we had more.

HELEN (2nd Year,

MILLER, Marryatville).

ABOVE CAPRICORN The spinifex was rather high and not at all green — in fact, it was grey. This and many other things I noticed. Not far away a dozen or more ant hills clustered together as if to hide their faces from the glaring sun. Lizards with long tails poked their heads out from behind stumps, then disappeared in a flash.

The people south of Alice are rather unlucky.

Tliev are too high for the southern rains and too low for the northern monsoons.

The colours of Central Australia are breathtaking.

In the very early morning when the first light of the sun strikes the hills, they are a lovely pink, such pink as you never saw even in a pink rose.

When the sun is really up the hills are mauve. In the evening the mauve deepens to purple and the shadows are a beautiful royal blue. Even the best of colour photography cannot capture all these, as well as the sun-scorched red earth, the dull green of mulga and ironwood trees and the burning everblue sky.

The wild life is very interesting. Travelling through the bush in the early morning or late evening you would probably see a few kangaroos.

If you were going through rocky, hilly country you would see rock wallabies or euros, which are kangaroo-sized wallabies. They have hair instead of fur, and they are a pinkish-beige colour, instead of red-brown or blue-grey like kangaroos. Though kangaroos are gentle animals, and would never attack you unless they were cornered, old-man kangaroos are pests. They are in practically the same class as rabbits. They eat the feed which pastoralists need so desperately for their own cattle.

A kangaroo-shooter, in a dry season, may shoot as many as a thousand animals a week.

Under an old stump of a tree lay a cow, musing, and chewing to the lazy hum of flies and the croaking of a frog in a waterhole. The quiet was disturbed by the jabber of an occasional native looking for wild onions to be cooked with the kangaroo tail at night.

Over the ranges, clouds floated, and in their midst a column of black smoke spiralled into the azure — showing that stockmen were out that way.

Baking on the rocks, a python opened and shut one eye as a mosquito came near.

The rocks also attracted my notice as they were of different shapes and sizes, shades and colours.

Two ears could be seen over the top of the spinifex —just a kangaroo having a look around! Down in the gully dingo tracks were to be seen, winding in and out of the short and tall scrub. Marks were visible where one had scratched away the earth, looking for water in the ground that was as hard as rock.

The flap of wings and the swish of water bioke the silence again and above my head flew a water hen. T watched it till it became a speck in the pale distance.

By ENA MAY BOYLE You're late!

How can you m a k e me hate This way?

You're unkind!

You said you'd be home, now I find I'm alone.

Inconsiderate man!

You've been ever since our began, The same.

Well, you'll see— W h e n you come home at last there'll be No loving word.

I'll stand No more of wretched off-hand Thoughtlessness.

I'll leave!

Women just don't sit and grieve These days.

They're firm now.

Times have changed. I'll show you how Things are.

It's later yet — It's impossible that you could forget The time.

Leave me alone, Not even think to 'phone And explain.

You're very late!

Is something wrong? contemplate An accident.

Long, long before the white man — and even to this very day — the Australian aborigine lived his primitive, nomadic life. His possessions were few . . . pathetic . . . prized. Made from plaited grass or fur, the "dilli" or dilly bag which he proudly carried held all his personal goods . . . all that he had saved.

Today A.N.Z. Savings Bank offers every boy, girl, man or woman its modern banking facilities and the advantages of saving money in a handy A.N.Z. Bank Pass Book and Money Box — it's a "dilly" for every modern Australian!
