	7:30 Report - 29/04/99: Ted Egan battles to make the great Australian outback film
		Egan was able to build the sets on Deep Well Station, 30 kilometres south of Alice Springs, and early last year filmed a few scenes as a show reel for potential investors.
		TED EGAN: It's a bit disarming to me to know that 40 years to the day I was the superintendent at Yuendumu.
		TED EGAN: It's risky business and I keep saying to them it's risky business and fortunately they're saying, well, life's a bit of a gamble anyway, and my role is to be something of a devil's advocate for my own project really.

		The new administrator of the NT is singer, songwriter and story teller Ted Egan, one of the territory's best known residents.
		Egan was the inaugural captain of St Mary's and held the position from the 1952/53 season to 1954/55.
		Egan says he has argued for the establishment of an AFL team in the NT and suggested Alice Springs as the base because the weather is more suitable than Darwin.

	Online NewsHour: Splendid Splinter -- July 5, 2002
		TED WILLIAMS: I asked Roger Hornsby, as good as anybody at the plate, I said, "what is the single most important thing I have to do?" He said, "get a good ball to hit." He was right on the money and I preach that every time.
		Ted Williams, to end the 1941 season, he might have been able to sit out the last game and just quit with a.399 average rounded out to.400, but it never occurred to him that day in Philadelphia that he wouldn't play.
		Ted was an ornery cuss, and he wasn't the most pleasant guy to deal with.

	Songmaker Ted Egan set for a No.1 in the NT - National - www.theage.com.au
		Ted Egan has spent a lifetime telling stories, but there's one he's duty bound to keep secret, just for now.
		It is, of course, Egan's own life story, and he'll gladly retell it - all bar the latest instalment - over a few beers on a sunny country afternoon in rural England, where he is touring to promote a new book and CD.
		The hot tip is that Egan, 71, singer/songwriter, author, ex-public servant, TV star, inventor of the Fosterphone (not to be confused with the lagerphone) and the man who first suggested Two Little Boys to Rolf Harris, is about to become the next administrator (or governor, by another name) of the Northern Territory.

	The SF Site: A Conversation With Ted Chiang
		Ted Chiang was born in Port Jefferson, New York.
		If writers like Greg Egan and Charles Stross are even partially correct in their prognostication, we really are living in the last century where one can speak meaningfully about a single human race.
		I don't think of Egan and Stross as being similar, but I guess both of them (like many other SF writers, going back to Wells and Stapledon) envision major changes in the human species.

		Ted Egan, who for five years has been battling to raise money for his $6m feature film "The Drover's Boy", says Chief Minister Denis Burke is "posturing" about developing a Territory film industry while his government is "steadfastly refusing" to assist the Alice Springs based project.
		Mr Egan is flying to London this week in a last chance bid to raise overseas capital before the approval for the film's prospectus by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission runs out.
		Mr Egan says the 3791 investors in "The Drover's Boy", including " hundreds of Territorians, all of them voters, must be wondering what's wrong with their project" for the government to give it the cold shoulder.

		Alice Springs singer Ted EganÕs win of a Golden Guitar at Tamworth has triggered a flood of applications from potential investors in his $7m feature film, "The Drover's Boy".

		Although he's normally pigeonholed as country, a lot of his songs (particularly the early ones) appeal to folkies like me. In the free assocation department, I notice that another crossover performer, Ted Egan, is now Administrator of the Northern Territory Well done!
		All I can say is I hope Ted Egan can administer better than he can sing.
		Ted Egan would have to go a long way to top Austin Asche, whom I've met a few times.

	Troppo Armadillo: A partial retraction
		I can't help wondering whether Ted's unaccompanied performance of the traditional shearers' strike anthem The Union Way was entirely in accord with the carefully apolitical role expected of vice-regal officeholders in the Australian constitutional system.
		Ted's moving rendition of his composition Gurindji Blues, accompanied only by Gondwana's Charlie McMahon on didge, was probably on slightly safer ground, given that those events at least ostensibly enjoy bipartisan political acceptance.
		But you certainly wouldn't want to put money on the CLP extending Ted's term of office if they happen to win the next Territory election.
