...interest in Captain Simonsen's enterprise has brought with it some special demands. One woman explorer wrote him that she and her two teen-age daughters were embarking on a two-year seafaring voyage along the aborigine-inhabited north coast of Australia-with no knowledge of boats or the area. Captain Simonsen, who sailed the waters as a civilian employee in the Army's Transportation Corps, now finds himself technical consultant to the expedition. Along with these results came some echoes of the past. Simonsen got a friendly phone call from a man who, when an alcoholic...

Creatures like the labyrinthodonts, the continental drifters argue, would not have evolved separately on such isolated continents as Antarctica and Australia...
...would be hard to find a tougher or more tenacious people than Australia's Aborigines. They have to be. Virtually Stone Age nomads, the Aborigine tribes roam naked through the desolate Australian outback, where temperatures in summer often hit 120°. They live off the arid land, eating grubs and roots and maybe, if they get lucky, an occasional lizard or kangaroo. Last week in Tokyo, Lionel Rose, 19, a leathery young Aborigine from Gippsland, Victoria, put his native toughness and tenacity to good use. By outboxing, outpunching and outpointing Japan's Masahiko ("Fighting") Harada over 15 furious...
