Abstract: The structure and dynamics of regional populations in remote Aboriginal Australia are little understood and under researched. Memmott et al. (2004: 1) remark that 'whereas larger scales of mobility are analysable (to a limited degree) using the statistical methodologies of demographers and using the gross census units of Statistical Divisions and ATSIC regions, there is a need to develop a greater understanding of smaller-scale regional characteristics.' One could add that much of the smaller scale research that has taken place has focused on the phenomenon of intra-regional mobility.
