Only Gordon Childe's death sufficed to alert Australians to his international reputation. His private return after an absence of 35 years was unlikely to be newsworthy, given Australia's intellectual climate and regional isolation in 1957. 1 was totally unaware of Child's return in April, or of his visits to universities in Sydney and Canberra, despite the fact that it was in that year that I initiated Australia's only course in the prehistory of this region. This was Pacific Prehistory, a final honours year course at Melbourne University's History Department
