To illustrate his propositions, the author reviews Australia's defence posture in the context of developments in the civil infrastructure in selected regions - North Queensland, Northern Territory, and the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia.42 p. ; 30 cm.application/pdf© 1983 The authorsAustraliaDefenses.1983
