3.2 Radio Australia

The ABC also operates Radio Australia , the international shortwave service with transmissions aimed at East Asia and the Pacific Islands featuring programmes in various languages in these regions, including Mandarin, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Khmer language, and Tok Pisin. Radio Australia concentrates on news and current affairs, but it also features historical documentaries, information about Australian lifestyle and culture, and light entertainment. Radio Australia bulletins are also carried on the World Radio Network , which is available on satellite in Europe and North America.

4 Postal Address

The ABC's postal address is "[PO] Box 9994 in your Capital city" followed by the postcode.

It is a persistent urban myth that '9994' is in memory of the life-time test average cricket score (99.94, being 6996 in 70 completed innings) of the Australian cricketer Sir Donald Bradman. Supposedly, one-time Chairman of the ABC, Sir Charles Moses , arranged for this number to be used, however this has been denied by the ABC.
