Editorial

This, the thirtieth issue of the annual and now both national and internationally reaching and respected publication, 'Australian Folklore', is one that marks a pleasing and most significant milestone in the recording and analysing of the customs, beliefs, and the various records of the habits and general and more particular mores of the Australian people and of the whole general society of this continent, without, however, treating of the more intimate culture of the Indigenous people. It is also a journal that has always taken due notice of the outside world folklore that interests Australians, much as has been the case with the open files of the British and folklore mothering major early journal, 'Folklore', one which allows itself a sweeping view of interesting research and significant recording, particularly across the English-speaking countries. Pleasingly, too, the Northern European e-folklore has more than one Australian scholar in its more regularly appearing authors.
