FOREWORD

I am delighted to be writing a foreword for this important eBook. Seventeen years ago I moved with my family from urban Britain to regional Queensland and have lived in regional Australia ever since. Even before making the move, we were made aware that many metropolitan folk assume the only reason to move to a regional area is to take a step back; a sea-change, a tree-change or a me-change.

My experience of regional Australia has not been one of sleepy towns with people idling their lives away. In fact my experience has been that people are every bit as dedicated and busy as their urban counterparts, probably more so. However, there is a real difference and that is there is a far greater sense of authenticity and connection in regional and rural areas. People matter, individuals matter and there is a much greater opportunity for a sense of genuine contribution to community and to feel you have made a real difference.

Living in regional areas, there can be a sense that regional policy is an afterthought and that those in our capital cities are more interested in doing things for and to regional communities rather than with and by to use Charles Leadbeaters terms. Regional Australia is critical to the health and wealth of the whole nation and there we therefore need a better understanding of its issues and opportunities. We also need to ensure that rural and regional communities are involved in setting policy and determining solutions that affect their future.

The twelve chapters in this eBook deal with a very broad range of issues. Starting with landscape and social change, the various authors traverse migration, mental health issues, the lives of health professionals and through to questions of identity. They provide a deep exploration of aspects of rural and regional life. This is absolutely in line with the function of regional universities and academics to serve their communities through relevant research. I hope you enjoy this eBook and that it contributes to your understanding of rural and regional Australia.
