For many people living in Australia, education is not a simple matter of
trotting down to the local school. Vast distances and special requirements
have nevertheless been overcome in innovative and often unique ways. This
issue's Outback Story covers some of them. From the legendary School of the
Air to Queensland's School for Travelling Show Children to the delivery of
specialist tertiary courses by institutions such as Geelong's Marcus Oldham
College, dedicated educators are working to ensure that quality learning
is not restricted to those within striking distance of a schoolyard.
