In today’s program a focus on language of both the oral and written kind. We meet children’s author Sherryl Clarke, and hear how some of Australia’s indigenous languages are being kept alive. And for just a touch of silliness, we meet some of Australia’s most pampered pets – and their rather indulgent owners – at a doggy day care centre in Sydney.
