2 the Never-Never Country
1) австрал. малонаселённая северо-западная часть Квинсленда...his father (in a burst of fatherly kindness, I suppose) made him a present of the old horse and a new pair of blucher boots, and I gave him an old saddle and a coat, and he started for the Never-Never country. (H. Lawson, ‘Joe Wilson’, ‘Water Them Geraniums’) —...отец мальчика - в приступе отцовской любви, я полагаю, - подарил ему старую лошадь и пару новых коротких и тяжелых сапог, а я дал ему старое седло и пальто. И вот парнишка отправился в Квинсленд.
2) австрал.; уст. Царство Небесное, райI want to die and go with him to the Never-Never Country parson tells us about up there! (R. Boldrewood, ‘Robbery under Arms’, ch. 2) — Я хочу умереть и попасть вместе с ним в рай, о котором нам говорил священник.
3) иллюзия; витание в облаках"Pop" is with us for good, in one form or another. Only when society finally eliminates the problems of personal relationships will songs redirect their attitudes to "grander" themes. And that seems a bit of a never-never land to me. (‘Daily Worker’) — Популярная музыка в той или иной форме всегда нам сопутствует. Песни будут посвящены "высоким темам" только в обществе будущего, когда исчезнут все личные проблемы. Но, по-моему, этого никогда не случится.

3 Lee, Jack
1913-2002Britanico de nacimiento, empieza en su pais natal como montador para General Post Office, unidad de produccion cinematografica patrocinada por el Estado. Director de cine en 1941, su primer filme dramatico, The Woman in Hall, lo rueda en 1947 para Wessex Films. Posteriormente se traslada a Australia, a cuya cinematografia ayudo a brotar casi de la nada. De su unico western como realizador, que no merece excesiva atencion, se puede decir que, al parecer, fue codirigido por otros dos directores, australianos ambos, Donald Crombie y Ken Hannam. No se han incluido entradas independientes para ellos en este diccionario dada la escasa relevancia de la pelicula, de ellos mismos, del caracter austral del producto que, eso si, tiene todas las caracteristicas del western, y, en ultima instancia, porque no consta con claridad su autoria.Robbery Under Arms. 1957. 83 minutos. Eastmancolor. J. Arthur Rank. David McCallum, Ronald Lewis, Peter Finch, Jill Ireland. -
