Abstract This paper considers the case of an introduced species that resides in what is now a jointly managed national park in the north of tropical Australia. Banteng (Bos javanicus) are a peculiar feral nonhuman animal in that they constitute a potential environmental threat within the domestic conservation goals of the park, but they also hold the prospect of being a major genetic resource in the international conservation of the species. Thus, perspectives on the use and management of these animals are varied between different actors in the park landscape, and are subject to fluctuations over time, especially in response to wider social and political circumstances. This paper argues that seemingly objective views of these animals are actually a series of subjectivities, which have less to do with any concrete aspects of the animals themselves and more to do with the way that particular people orient themselves toward, and within, the landscape.

BACKGROUND The successful recruitment and retention of health professionals to rural and remote areas of Australia is a health policy priority. Student undergraduate or graduate entry nursing or allied health learning placements in the Northern Territory of Australia (most of which is considered remote) may influence rural or remote work location decisions. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to determine where allied health professionals and nurses who have had a student placement/s in the Northern Territory of Australia end up practising. METHODS This research is an observational cohort study with a baseline data collection and then repeated annual data collection over 10 years (2017/18-2029). The baseline data collection is a demographic profile of allied health and nursing students and their evaluation of their NT placement using a nationally consistent questionnaire. Annual Work Location Surveys will track work location and the influences on work location decisions. RESULTS This study will generate unique data on the remote and rural work locations of nursing and allied health professional students who had a placement in the Northern Territory of Australia. It will be able to determine what are the most important characteristics of those who take up remote and rural employment (even if outside NT), and identify barriers to remote employment. CONCLUSIONS The study will add to the literature on rates of allied health and nursing professionals working in a remote or rural setting following remote or rural learning placements. The results will be of interest to government and remote health workforce planners. CLINICALTRIAL Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry number: ACTRN12620000797976

Sir Charles Todd is a seminal nineteenth-century figure who continues to fascinate popular writers and scholars alike, not least those working in modern telecommunications. A well-attended symposium, convened by Adelaide societies in August 2012, paid lengthy tribute to his wide-ranging achievements. In his own lifetime, ‘Telegraph’ Todd was celebrated for his achievement in planning and organising the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line from Adelaide to Darwin, linking Australia to the outside world. His personal intervention on the hazardous Northern Territory leg of the Overland Telegraph’s construction was hailed as decisive in the successful completion of one of the great engineering feats of its day. Yet Todd himself has remained a shadowy figure, eluding a series of biographers for more than a century after his death. This article concerning the genesis of Todd’s recent biography entitled Behind the Legend: The Many Worlds of Charles Todd, examines changing historical perspectives on Todd and his achievements. In particular, it identifies the increasing availability of biographical resources over time and reviews the challenges which biographers faced in bringing to life the career of a great pioneering Australian.

Population projections are increasingly utilised as tools for understanding and modelling the economic, social, and environmental futures of sparsely populated areas. This study examines issues around “fit for purpose” for the application of projections to remote contexts. We focus on projections made for the Northern Territory of Australia, a jurisdiction in the north of the country, to assess the relative accuracy of projections over time. The results conclusively demonstrate the reduced accuracy of remote population projections. Nevertheless, the exercise of comparing and contrasting the accuracy of projections provides a useful lens for understanding demographic and other issues which necessitate that approaches for developing and utilising projections can and should be different in sparsely populated areas. We provide examples of alternative approaches to projections and the analysis of errors which researchers and analysts in sparsely populated areas might apply to other jurisdictions.

Over Time

The dietary preferences of 13 buffaloes were observed over the wet and early dry seasons of 1960, 1961 and 1962 on an area of Humpty Doo Station where 11 plant species known to be palatable to buffaloes were growing. The grazing intensity on the various herbage species changed over time. Some species were consistently eaten throughout the season but the majority were not. There was no correlation between protein content and grazing intensity between species; nor was grazing preference correlated with availability, because the most prevalent species was not the most preferred, especially in the early dry season.
