Khaki Fever: That dreaded 'disease' of the African bush. It sneaks up on you the way a leopard stalks a newborn impala, striking you down just when you are most vulnerable. You can't buy preventative medication, there is little you can do to cure it when you catch it, it hits harder than any other illness in Africa (because it targets your heart) and you will struggle to find a list of symptoms in your bush guidebook. Aah, Khaki Fever, the age-old aliment of being attracted to a man in uniform that spreads like wildfire through the savannah where rangers in khaki gear are found. Although, contrary to popular belief, it's not just women that are susceptible to catching khaki fever; as someone once told me, 'there's something about a woman behind the wheel of a large Land Rover that is a real turn-on'. So next time you head towards the bush, be aware of the following symptoms, just in case you find yourself suffering from a bout of dreaded Khaki Fever: 1. Your game spotter has got nothing on you. When on safari, it's not uncommon for every grey, round rock to elicit calls of 'rhino'. You suddenly find yourself staring deep into the heart of the bush, wishing to be the first one to spot something that your tracker missed, just so you can be the one to point it out, resulting in a 'well spotted' accolade from the guide and that gold-star feeling you had in kindergarten. 2. You are weirdly scared of your own imagination. Just when it starts to get dark you call your safari guide to your room. You are not sure what you saw moving in the corner of your room but you can't check it out by yourself and there is no way your husband could go and investigate (he could get hurt after all). You just happen to be wearing your skimpy nighty and call your guide to remove.. as it turns out; nothing. 3. You're suddenly a huge fan of walking safaris. Game drives just don't do it for you anymore, you much prefer the thrill of a walking safari as it gives you a chance to check out your guide's khaki-clad butt as you cower close behind him upon coming across a lion, for which he fearlessly brandishes his rifle. 4. You suddenly know nothing! Your questions about the bush surpass general curiosity until you are annoying every single guest at your lodge. Your incessant need to engage in conversation with your ranger means that you are suddenly interested in the intimate lifecycle of every single insect in the bush and even the technical specs of the Land Rover. And if your female guide can answer the last set of questions, then you, as a male tourist, are now sure to contract full-blown Khaki Fever 5. You are suddenly a huge fan of khakis. The last and perhaps the most obvious symptom of Khaki Fever: Those long socks, two-toned shirts and too short shorts which are the object of ridicule back home in the city are suddenly quite appealing. You find yourself buying a matching set from the over-priced gift store at the lodge, and flaunting them in the boma that evening as you try to transmute a little Khaki Fever of your own. Khaki Fever is a close ally of Bush Fever wherein you just long to be, with all your heart, in the bush at this dry time of the year.

Regina (Audrey Hepburn) is about to divorce her husband when she finds that he has been murdered after converting every penny they owned to cash, which is also missing. She meets Cary Grant who changes his name every 15 minutes or so and is interested in her husband's money, but so are several others, and they begin turning up dead... 'First time teaming of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn gives the sophisticated romantic caper an international appeal, plus the selling points of adventure, suspense and superb comedy.' [Variety] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ($6.00) GLUCK: IPHIGeNIE EN AULIDE Friday 5 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Gluck, who was born 300 years ago in 1714, wrote two late operas based on the story of Iphigenia, the ill-starred daughter of the Greek King, Agamemnon. 'Iphigenia in Aulis' concerns the events surrounding the departure of the Greek fleet to lay siege to Troy. Agamemnon killed a hart in the sacred grove of the goddess Artemis who then becalmed the Greek fleet waiting to sail from Aulis to lay siege to Troy. The priest Calchas tells Agamemnon that he must sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia, betrothed to Achilles, to placate the goddess. The second opera, 'Iphigenia en Tauride', will be shown on Friday 3 October. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES Thursday 11 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. In the most famous Sherlock Holmes story of them all, the Great Detective travels to Dartmoor to unravel murder, the mystery of a savage, spectral hound, and an evil that has haunted the Baskerville family for centuries. The film stars Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart as Holmes and Watson with Richard E.Grant as Stapleton and was the first dramatisation of one of literature's greatest gothic thrillers to be shot at the actual location of the novel. It aroused some controversy, partly because of the changes to the original story but a review called it 'one of the best Sherlock Holmes screen adaptations to date, and arguably the best of all screen versions of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" that we have.' Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. ($6.00) RAMEAU: LES BOReADES Friday 12 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Rameau died 250 years ago on 12 September 1764 and 'Les Boreades', written when the composer was 80, was his final opera. It is the mythical tale of a young queen, Alphise, determined to abdicate rather than contemplate an enforced marriage to a descendant of Boreas, god of the north wind. Her forbidden love for Abaris is reciprocated, but seems hopeless until his divine origins are revealed, whereupon darkness is turned to light and Boreas's dingy domain is suffused with glowing colours, both literally and metaphorically. In this production, director Robert Carsen and his creative team flood the stage by turns with summer blossoms, mountainous piles of autumn leaves, harsh winter snows and thunderous spring storms. The cast of 140, including soloists, chorus and dancers are attired in costumes inspired by late 1940s Dior. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) : APOCALYPSE - WORLD WAR I Monday 15, Wednesday 17 & Friday 19 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.30 p.m. - in association with the Alliance Francaise 'Apocalypse World War I' is a new prime-time series for various television channels including France2, Knowledge and National Geographic covering the events of the First World War in five fifty-minute episodes.

Wouldn't it be nice if people 'adopted a vendor'. By that I mean, every day you go to work, school or gym, give one of the vendors, which you invariably pass every day of your life, a bottle of water. Many of them do not have access to water at home let alone on the side of the road where they stand for up to 10 hours a day trying to sell their newspapers, buddie cards & Chinese wares - all under the boiling sun. They are trying to earn a living & have not resorted to begging - yet. I for one, respect that. I try and drop off a few 2 litre milk bottles every day at one of the robots and they are always so friendly and grateful. When I come back, they always have the empty bottles ready for me to take home to wash and refill for my next run. It costs absolutely nothing except for 5 minutes of one's day, & the odd loaf of bread when I feel inclined. For that I always get a smile, a big thank you and a wave which brightens up my day. It's just a thought .. Cheers Siobhan A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions & the roots spring up and make new trees.
