Since the late 1980s, tourism has become Australia's most important source of export earnings, surpassing traditional commodities of wool, wheat and meat. Globally, Australia's tourist sector is growing at a rate exceeding all other OECD nations. Arrivals were up 16% when the years 1992 and 1993 are compared. Maintaining this growth requires diversifying the source of tourists. This article explores the growth in the tourist trade to Australia from the Republic of Korea (henceforth Korea). From 1991 to 1993, Korea was one of Australia's most rapidly growing source of inbound tourists. The article examines the growth in tourist flows between Korea and Australia in terms of ‘functional space’ which emphasises the concepts of generation, linkage and attraction between home and destination countries. It is argued that the demand for overseas travel in Korea is a response to the complex interplay of reduced explicit government legislation controlling overseas travel and increasing personal wealth. Marketing is essential to encourage Koreans to visit Australia since it is a marginal location in terms of Koreans' actual holiday destinations. Transforming potential to actual travel is dependent upon the marketing strategies pursued by the Australian Tourist Commission, travel agents, and airline companies.

The resurgence and visibility of homeiessness since the 1980s have become significant social and political issues, widely debated in academic circles and in the popular press. The composition of tho homeless population has changed markedly in this period, and now includes more women and children, and more of the dcinstitutionalised mentally ill. The lives of street kids in the city of Newcastle, Australia show patterns of structured behaviour and territorial and social organisation. They have a distinctive group identity and moral order. Tlicir subculture is complex with strains of nonpatriarchal and patriarchal relations combined with little tolerance of forms of difference. The mora! code of the youth subculture may be a form of resistance to their histories of abuse but is also conservative in reproducing aspects of the culture that they resist. The social networks generated on the street provide a self-maintaining force which contributes to a culture of chronic homelcssness.
