Spanning five central decades of the twentieth century (1934-1974), 'Walkabout' was integral to Australia's sense of itself as a nation. By advocating travel - both vicarious and actual - 'Walkabout' encouraged settler Australians to broaden their image of the nation and its place in the Pacific region. In this way, 'Walkabout' explicitly aimed to make its readers feel at home in their country, as well as including a diverse picture of Aboriginal and Pacific cultures. Like National Geographic in the United States, Walkabout presented a cornucopia of images and information that was accessible to a broad readership.Anthem studies in Australian literature and culture.TravelSocial aspectsAustraliaHistory20th centuryPeriodicalsSocial aspectsAustraliaHistory20th centuryLiterature and societyAustraliaHistory20th centuryNational characteristics, AustralianHistory20th centuryNationalismAustraliaHistory20th centuryAustraliaDescription and travelPeriodicalsAustraliaDescription and travelAustraliaSocial life and customs20th centuryAustraliaEthnic relationsHistory20th centuryTravelSocial aspectsHistoryPeriodicalsSocial aspectsHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryNational characteristics, AustralianHistoryNationalismHistory919.9404/05LIT004070HIS004000SOC022000bisacshRolls Mitchell1960-1207600Johnston Anna1972-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910148575303321Travelling home, Walkabout magazine and mid-twentieth-century Australia2785760UNINA
