Next Edition
Edition 36: Small World
As a nation girt by sea, global travel has always been central to Australia's identity; from Indigenous people to the passengers of the
First Fleet leaving their homeland for a destination beyond the limits
of the known world. We are a nation of immigrants, tourists and
expats who are more at home than ever in the global village where
boundaries and borders start to shift for those who hold more
than one identityor passport.
Small World will explore the way we travel now – whether it's exploring wild, dangerous or weird places, or travelling not as
passive tourists but by engaging. This edition will also consider how technology – from planes and television to social media and
international banking – has changed our sense of the world.
This edition considers what we can learn from our own travels or
flights of fancy and from those who reach our shores from other lands.
