Small Towns in Northern Australia

Abstract

This volume comprises papers delivered at the North Australia Research Unit’s annual conference held in Darwin on 22-24 February, 1989. The title of the conference, ‘Small Towns in Northern Australia’, attracted not only a wide range of speakers from state government departments, non-government organisations and from other universities, but also a lively and appreciative audience over the three days. Topics discussed included those social, economic and political issues that have both determined the existence, and continue to influence the future development, or small and remote settlements north of the 26th parallel.
