The Nomadic Academic Village for the Settled and Temporary Resource Towns of Australia
Australian resource towns desire an accessibility to tertiary education to train existing workers, local residents and people who wish to enter the resource industry yet attain their qualifications with on-site experience. To overcome isolation and the lack of financial investment in these towns like Broken Hill, Cobar and Newness the proposal is to create a travelling campus that uses abandoned yet abundant railway marshalling yards as deployment zones for trains to become a mobile education hubs.
