| Summary |
"Regional Australia is a much neglected and often maligned object of research. The challenges confronting the cities, towns and people of these areas may often be very different from those facing metropolitan areas, but the consequences of these challenges frequently have a direct impact on the social, cultural and economic life of the major centres."--p. vii |
