<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>
