N: National parks, New South Wales & Northern Territory

*

As I hinted last time, in the class you'll be involved in a number of activities both in groups and individually. And no, I'm not going to tell you anything in advance :-P

Study the materials below - they may give you some ideas what we might be doing ;)

1. New South Wales - this website gives you a good outline of interesting destinations in NSW.

2. Northern Territory - same here. You don't need to read everything in detail but browse the site to get a general idea of what you can do and experience in this part of Australia.

3. NATIONAL PARKS

* Uluru National Park - you can go on a stunning virtual tour round the monolith by CLICKING HERE



Uluru National Park is probably the most special place for Aboriginal Australians.

I'm not asking you to watch ALL clips from this folder, but since they offer a really honest view on how Aborigines see the land, the presence of white people there, and sharing their culture with them, I strongly encourage you to see at least some. "Working together", "About Tjukurpa" and "We do not climb" are ones especially important.


* Kakadu National Park (visitor guide .pdf) - a fantastic, colourful guide to the park. No questions on it, but you may want to scan it for your own enjoyment if you have some free time ;-)
