The IGU Sydney Conference made 1988 a memorable year for Australian geographers. It provided us with unique opportunities to meet old friends and colleagues and to forge contacts with new acquaintances; and, through our involvement in the huge range of activities associated with the meeting, it involved many of us in a global network of geographers, the benefits of which we continue to reap. Our 1988 visitors, primarily from the northern hemisphere, also benefited. Through publications, seminars and excursions Australian geography and Australian geographers came to the attention of their overseas counterparts with new intensity. During the period from 1988 our experiences as editors of Australian Geographical Studies have suggested that this momentum has been maintained. Australian geographers continue to make a highly significant contribution to scholarly debates in all major contemporary research areas. However what are these areas? Are they static or changing? And what can Australian Geographical Studies tell us not only about these trends but also about what they might mean for future interests of Australian geographers? In presenting a summary of the journal's activities and offerings over the last three and a half years we consider these questions in two different ways. First we present an analysis of the topics which honours and post‐graduate geography students have been studying for their theses over the last decade. These are taken from the biennial geography thesis lists which David Wadley and his collaborators have painstakingly compiled for the journal throughout this period. Secondly we look at the manuscripts submitted to us during our period as editors
