Synopsis Demographic Change in Australia's Rural Landscapes by : Gary W. Luck

The distribution and re-distribution of people across the landscape has signi cant implications for ecological, economic and social dynamics. Movement of people to urban centres (mostly from rural landscapes, especially in the developing world) is a major global phenomenon. This can result in the de-population of rural landscapes. Conversely, population growth and a changing demographic pro le have been id- ti ed for particular rural landscapes with notable examples from North America, Europe and Australia. Yet we know little of the factors that drive demographic changes in rural landscapes and even less about the implications of these changes. This book examines broad and local-scale patterns of demographic change in rural landscapes, identi es some of the drivers of these changes using Australian case studies or comparisons between Australian and international contexts, and outlines the implications of changes for society and the environment. This book makes a valuable contribution to the literature because it adopts an integrated and interdisciplinary approach by explicitly linking demographic change with environmental, land-use, social and economic factors. This integrated approach was achieved by encouraging interaction among authors writing on similar topics to ensure coherency and complementarity among chapters, and cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives. Chapters are presented as interactive and re ective d- cussions that address the ndings of other contributors; yet, each chapter contains enough background to stand alone as a unique contribution.

Synopsis The Amateur Tramp by : Colin Choat

Aidan De Brune was the first person to walk around the perimeter of Australia. He set off in 1921, unaccompanied and unassisted and walked 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometres) from Sydney to Sydney, anticlockwise. Everywhere he walked, he asked people to sign his travel diary, as evidence of his presence in the places he visited. He was also a journalist and he regularly wrote articles during his walk, which appeared in the Sydney Daily Mail and other newspapers.He was a prolific writer of serialised mystery stories, which were syndicated in newspapers throughout Australia and New Zealand. He was also an accomplished musician who gave music lessons and at one time played piano accompaniments to silent films in London.
