Abstract
I introduce a brief history of rural education in Australia byfirst providing ageographical description ofthecountryand thenbydiscussing thedevelopment ofeducation in remote areas. I then consider thehistory ofrural education in onestate, Queensland, as an illustration of developments elsewhere in the country. I conclude by considering the impact the Commonwealth government had on Australian rural education since the1960s.
