There is another recording of Marconi held by the NFSA in Australia. It can
be heard on-line through the NFSA site. It was a broadcast on 14th December
1935 supposedly from Paris. The occasion was the dedication of a monument
at Wahroonga, New South Wales to the memory of the Australian radio pioneer
Sir Ernest Fisk the founder of AWA. It was at Wahroonga at Fisk's
residence that the first wireless message from England to Australia was
received on 22nd September 1918.
