<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>If
myths of national identity have focused on travel <i>to</i> Australia
(‘discovery’, invasion/settlement, transportation, migration), it is worth
noting that travel <i>from </i>Australia has been a significant phenomenon for
just as long. From Yolngu people accompanying Macassan fisherman to the islands
of Indonesia, from those First Fleeters who made the return journey ‘home’ to
Europe, to today’s travellers, tourists and expatriates, residents of Australia
have left its shores for a multitude of destinations and reasons and in very
different roles. Descendants of migrants and refugees, soldiers, nurses,
artists, authors, brides, chaperones, utopians, sportspeople, students,
teachers, backpackers, cruise-ship travellers, journalists, IT professionals:
some have sought to rejoin family, others to escape it; some have sought renown,
others have been head-hunted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We
invite papers that explore the conference theme from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives including: auto/biography, travel writing, history, language
learning, intercultural communication, sociology, tourism, literary/cultural
studies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
