Abstract

This article gives some background, traces some of the recent history of Australian (Aboriginal) language study in Walgett, looks at the hoped for and actual impact, and discusses the possible future of this important field of study. It will focus mainly on Walgett because the author has worked there and knows its recent language history well. Other towns are mentioned, but it would need more input from them to speak fully about their situation.
