Abstract
We discuss the astrometric observation of minor solar system-bodies fr om:Victoria:: with particular reference to 40 recently monitored near- Earth asteroids. The future encounter circumstances over the next 50 y ears have been calculated:for some interesting individuals of this gro up. 1991 JW, whose orbit is the most similar to Earth's of any sizeabl e (> 0.5 km) asteroid yet discovered, shows appreciable orbital:evolut ion within this time interval.
