Abstract: The 1981 conference of the North Australia Research Unit was held in Darwin in December and it attracted a large number of papers and a critical and constructive audience.Most of the papers are published either in the following pages or in the smaller companion volume on services to Aboriginal outstations, the special topic of the conference.The success of the conference was ensured by the many people who offered papersmore than the organisers expected -and by the cooperation of the many departments of government, Territorian and Commonwealth, whose senior officers either gave papers or helped NARU staff in the preparation of their papers.To all of them the Unit expresses its indebtedness.The staff also acknowledge their debt to the people, of whom many were Aboriginal, who helped them to gather the data needed for their work.From an organisational point of view, the success of the conference was also the result of solid preparation by the staff of the Unit -Elaine Sommer, Deborah Wade-Marshall, Colleen Pyne, Jill Risk, Jim Toner and Fred Wright.
