Mosley, J. G.2017-04-192017-04-191963b1649744http://hdl.handle.net/1885/115205The importance of outdoor holiday-making in Australia so far seems to have escaped the notice of geographers in spite of the fact that the quality of the country's recreational resources is a common matter of Australian pride. The author does not know of a single article in an academic journal, or of a University thesis, which deals with the geographical aspects of recreation in Australia. However, this omission is not peculiar to this part of the world; it seems in fact that the importance of the subject is receiving due acknowledgement only in the United States of America. This neglect, and the prospect of a continuing growth in the demand for recreation, should give particular interest to a pioneer study in this field.2venTourism Australia TasmaniaTasmania Description and travel196310.25911/5d74e3993d3612017-04-18
