      abstract = {This new study offers a timely and compelling account of  why past generations of Australians have seen the north of  the country as an empty land, and how those perceptions of  Australia's tropical regions impact current policy and  shape the self-image of the nation. It considers the  origins of these concerns - from fears of invasion and  moral qualms about leaving resources lying idle, from  apprehensions about white nationhood coming under  international censure and misgivings about the natural  attributes of the north - and elucidates Australians'  changing appreciations of the natural environments of the  north, their shifting attitudes toward race and their  unsettled conceptions of Asia.},
