...Having turned washing-machine salesman and failed, he has been taken to a refuge called Suicide Sanctuary. The sanctuary is run by a do-good nut (Bayliss again). As his wife and helper, Patricia Routledge hops around like a kangaroo whose pouch has just been rifled. Her name is Rover, and she has an imaginary dog named Maureen.

Some traveled by plane, some by Land Rover, others on horseback, foot and even skis. Each carried a 33-question census form and a language guide in eight tongues as disparate as Serbo-Croatian and Maltese. When they dealt with the "abos" -Australia's bug-eating, boomerang-throwing aborigines-census takers had to use sign language after they had finally...
