Abstract
A program of research in neutron scattering was established in Australia in the early 1960's, shortly after the reactor HIFAR commenced full power operation. The program has included elements of regional cooperation from the very early days. A report is given on the present status of Australian neutron scattering research, and the activities (including several major new developments) in other Pacific Rim countries are briefly reviewed. Given the increasing sophistication of neutron scattering facilities and techniques, the case for regional cooperation is strongly advocated.
