UPDATE: Australian Work Marks Twenty Years of Growth - Dennis G Luker - April 1976

Dennis G Luker

Regional Director for Australasia Australia is a unique continent, sometimes referred to as "the land down under" because of its location in the southern hemisphere. It is a big country, nearly 3,000,000 square miles, with a relatively small population of 13 1/2 million people. Vast portions of Australia are desert and "bush" country. Nearly everyone has heard about the kangaroo, koala bear, platypus, and maybe about the Aborigines, the original people of this country. But most have not heard about what God is accomplishing here through this Work. Broadcast Twenty Years Old. It is now twenty years since The World Tomorrow was first heard in Australia. On April 14, 1956, eight radio stations around the nation began to broadcast the program once a week. As a result, a few Australians wrote to the United States asking to receive the Plain Truth magazine (at this time, the Work's only mailing office was in Pasadena, California, eight thousand miles away). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
