A number of people and organisations have contributed to this book. I wish to thank James Cook University of North Queensland for the sabbatical in 1996, during which the first draft was completed. The Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology at Pennsylvania State University generously provided accommodation, support and a most congenial, peaceful environment in which to work. I also wish to acknowledge the University of South Australia for the funds required to prepare the manuscript for publication, and Amanda Lambden for her help in finalising the book.

Many individuals contributed to the work. I am especially indebted to Lilian Chatterjee of the International Council on Social Welfare, who generously offered to act as editor. Lilian painstakingly reviewed the entire work. Her writing talents, powerful intellect, international perspective, compassion for the human race and insistence that I use the English language correctly have contributed to a vastly improved final product.

Over a long period, I have found many treasures amongst Judy Taylors experiences of social care practice, policy, service development and management in rural and remote areas of Northern Australia. These, and her thoughts about them, are scattered throughout this work. Judy and her colleagues have been genuine pioneers in a challenging field. Most of all, Judy has relentlessly reminded me that the pristine tidiness of academic speculation cannot match the elegant messiness of the real world.

The list of people who have contributed to my understanding of rural life is limitless. It includes Emilia Martinez-Brawley and Allan Brawley at Arizona State University, Drew Hyman and Al Luloff at PennState, Kim Zapf at the University of Calgary, Geoff Lawrence at Central Queensland University, David McSwan at James Cook University, Peter Munn at the University of South Australia and Bob Lonne at the Queensland University of Technology. Frank Hornby of the Townsville City Council will be surprised to learn that he has contributed more than anyone else to my knowledge of social planning, local government in regional social care. Frank has been one of the true pioneers of regional social planning in Australia.

To all those students at James Cook University who shared my passion for rural Australia -1 thank you for joining my journey with such enthusiasm, for contributing to my understanding of rural life and for the many endless debates which challenged my preconceptions and extended my thinking.

Most importantly, this book could never have been written had not the people of rural and remote Northern Australia been so lavish with their hospitality, generous with their insights, and trusting in their souls. From the start, I was fully aware of what an honour it was to be invited into your communities. For very good reasons, you have learned to distrust many of what you call the educated idiots who meddle in your affairs for their own benefit. City folk do, indeed, have much to learn from your strength, courage, love of community and fundamental humanity.
