The paper considers academic Australian tourism research over the last thirty years. The overview is written from the perspective of a key and involved participant. The approach to be followed uses data and archival records as well as a subjective choice of critical incidents. Key factors considered include the state of the Australian industry at 5 year time intervals, and the associated national political support for tourism and research. The linked factors discussed include the changing role of institutions, the power of individual scholars, the issues of relevance, knowledge management and status, and the cultural context which encourages the following or the fusion of traditions. It is suggested that viewing tourism study in a wide framework and emphasising its connections to many other phenomena offers a bright future for the development of academic tourism research.
