Aboriginal Place Names and Significance:Here is a list of some Aboriginal place names in Australia:
Choose three of these names and research the meaning of them. Write down your place names with their meanings in your HSIE book.

Your task is to make a brochure that will show tourists why they should visit this site. In class we will look at examples of brochures, but you may like to look up some on the internet as well. One idea for presenting your brochure could be using one piece of A4 paper, folded into 3 parts like this one: Your brochure should tell tourists:
Make sure your brochure is colourful and interesting! |
