The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity of a brane world model
with one extra dimension and a single brane is analysed. The model includes
higher order curvature terms (such as the Gauss-Bonnet term) and a conformally
coupled scalar field. Large and small distance gravitational laws are derived.
In contrast to the corresponding Einstein gravity models, it is possible to
obtain solutions with localised gravity which are compatible with observations.
Solutions with non-standard large distance Newtonian potentials are also
described.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of Phi in the Sky: The Quest for
