This resource has been developed with specific reference to content descriptions for Year 8 students in the Australian Curriculum: Geography:

  • Different types of landscapes and their distinctive landform features (ACHGK048)
  • Spiritual, aesthetic and cultural value of landscapes and landforms for people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples (ACHGK049)
  • Human causes and effects of landscape degradation (ACHGK051)
  • Ways of protecting significant landscapes (ACHGK052)

The resource also has relevance to the History strand, the General Capability of Intercultural Understanding, and the Cross-curriculum priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, and Sustainability.

The National Library of Australia acknowledges Australia’s First Nations Peoples – the First Australians – as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land and gives respect to the Elders – past and present – and through them to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
