Basic services such as communication, transportation, health and education are easily taken for granted, unless one lives in outback Australia. In outback Australia, physical isolation is a defining characteristic of life. Helping to overcome such isolation is the shared aim of the diverse services highlighted in this stamp issue – telecommunication, transport, School of the Air, postal and Royal Flying Doctor services.
