In the second of a three part series of special programmes from Australia, Hardtalk takes a look at the country's extraordinary resources boom.

Thanks to China's insatiable demand for coal, iron ore and other commodities the Australian economy has avoided the economic woes of the west and continues to grow. Stephen Sackur meets one of Australia's wealthiest men about the sustainability of this boom. He also talks to an aboriginal leader who is concerned that thousands of years of indigenous heritage is being lost as the big dig continues. This programme asks if Australia is turning itself into China's quarry of choice.
