The dominant discourse in most current literature about rurality emphasises Australian rural areas as marginalised conununities constructed as 'deficit' in relation to urban areas. This paper explores the educational experiences of Australian travelling circus people, who regularly cross the boundaries between 'urban' and 'rural', as providing an alternative and more enabling understanding of rurality. The paper concludes by examining the implications of living and learning under the circus big top for devising strategies to reinvigorate education in rural Australia.
