A first anthology of Australian SF (and Fantasy). Baxter points out no local professional magazine, hence work being submitted overseas (Analog, et. al.), and no really overt coming to grips with Australian themes. Bryning does have a Woomera station in space, though. :)

The barriers to progress are formidable, he says. Howevever, with this paving the way, just now we have a Hugo nominated Australian editor, and an Egan double. So, Mr. Baxter, your toil has not been wasted. Well done.

The stories here average 3.50, too, also pretty good for first cab off the rank.
