Extractions: By permission of the NLA Biography: Patrick White (b. London 1912, d. Sydney 1990), the first and to date only Australian writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature (1973), was born into a wealthy Australian graziers family with strong ties to England, and received his school education partly in Australia, partly at Cheltenham College, England. He then lived a few years in Australia, working as a jackaroo and preparing for university. At King's College, Cambridge, he studied French and German languages and literatures (1932-1935) and spent considerable time in France and Germany (particularly Hannover, the fictional Heimat of Voss and of Himmelfarb in Riders in the Chariot ). The experience of the Australian landscape on the one hand, and European literature and thought on the other were to become two major sources of influence on White's writing.

Extractions: By Lynn Fredriksson, ETAN Washington Representative, and Charles Scheiner The last four months have been a very hectic time in Washington, as the increased awareness of East Timor has provided many opportunities for action, and many actors on the stage. Suharto's letter has favorably resolved our two highest priority issues; now we need to explore ways of cutting other arms sales, redirecting economic aid, looking at trade relationships and otherwise increasing the cost to Indonesia's military elite of occupying East Timor. The East Timorese people, of course, have already paid an inconceivably high price. Internal Congressional considerations have also had an effect on our strategy, as Congress strives to avoid controversy by omitting major areas of legislative work. Nevertheless, the flurry of activity in Washington this Spring is paying off, with many new allies, contacts, and coalition partners joining East Timor's side. This article summarizes some of the major areas of work. As always, grassroots support around the country is the engine that drives East Timor work in the Capitol.

Extractions: In fact I enjoyed every minute of my life at King's, especially the discovery of French and German literature. Each vacation I visited either France or Germany to improve my languages. I wrote fitfully, bad plays, worse poetry. Then, after taking my degree, the decision had to be made: what to do? It was embarrassing to announce that I meant to stay in London and become a writer when I had next to nothing to show. To my surprise, my bewildered father, who read little beyond newspapers and stud-books, and to whom I could never say a word if we found ourselves stranded alone in a room, agreed to let me have a small allowance on which to live while trying to write. This exhilarating personal situation was somewhat spoilt by the outbreak of war. During the early, comparatively uneventful months I hovered between London and New York writing too hurriedly a second novel, The Living and the Dead. In 1940 I was commissioned as an air force intelligence officer in spite of complete ignorance of what I was supposed to do. After a few hair-raising weeks amongst the RAF greats at Fighter Command I was sent zigzagging from Greenland to the Azores in a Liverpool cargo boat with a gaggle of equally raw intelligence officers, till finally we landed on the Gold Coast, to be flown by exotic stages to Cairo, in an aeroplane out of Jules Verne.

Extractions: home the land times past hot spots ... oz kids The way of life in Australia reflects the diverse background of the population. From the first Australians to the British settlers, to the immigrants from all continents of the world, the influences of all have helped to create a unique culture. Long before the arrival of Europeans, the Australian aborigines created elaborate paintings on rock and bark (pictured right) . The value of early paintings by European immigrants lies primarily in their importance as a record of the settlement of the country. Since European settlement there have been many famous Australian artists, including 20th century painters Sir William Dobell, George Russell Drysdale, Frederick Ronald Williams, and Sidney Nolan. The work of Sidney Nolan, based on themes derived from Australian history and folklore, has achieved world-wide reknown. From children's books to Nobel Prize winning literature, Australians have produced them all. Notable authors include Marcus Clarke, Henry Lawson, Miles Franklin, Jon Cleary, Colleen McCullough, Thomas Keneally, and Patrick White. Patrick White was the first Australian to win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1973. Favourite children's authors include May Gibbs, creator of the Gumnut Babies, and Dorothy Wall, creator of Blinky Bill. Reknowned poets include A.B. Paterson ("Waltzing Matilda"), Dorothea Mackellar, C.J. Dennis, and Kenneth Slessor. The oldest music in Australia is the music of the Aborigines. Music plays a central role in both social and sacred life in Aborginal societies. During social gatherings called corroborees, singing and dancing provide the major form of entertainment. Songs serve as the vital link to the realm of Aboriginal spirits called Dreamtime. The Aborigines believe that, long ago, these spirits sang songs that created all living things on earth. Today, these songs are sung to ensure the survival and propagation of plant and animal life.
