“A Nice Little Earner!”: Wednesday, 29th June, 1977

Although it remained fine, a bitterly cold wind blew.

This afternoon, I priced a Slumberland ‘Gold Seal’ mattress and base ( five feet by six feet eight inches) at four hundred and fifty-nine dollars, in Bob Pollard Discounts, in Caringbah.

The ‘Sahara Desert’ edition of “Last Of The Wild” airs on Channel Two. At seven o’clock, Michael Willesee interviews the Australian authoress, Colleen McCullough, about her highly successful book, “The Thorn Birds”, which has just earned her five million dollars.

“Lucille Ball’s 25th Anniversary In Showbiz” followed, however, we departed from it, at eight o’clock, showing a preference for “Peach’s Australia”, in which Bill Peach visits the Gulf of Carpentaria and the towns of Burketown, Normanton and Croydon. He is seen experiencing the wild ride aboard the train which travels between the latter two.

The documentary, “The Fight Against Slavery”, is also shown on Channel Two, from half past eight. After that we returned to Channel Seven, from 9.30, to watch the motion picture, “The Blob”, which was produced in 1958, and traces the efforts of a community in its attempts to rid itself of a jelly-like mass. It stars Steve “Wanted Dead Or Alive” McQueen, in his first major role.
