Students will discover many facets of ecology during a wetland and woodland wander; including evolutionary history of Australia; indigenous plant use; plant adaptations; symbiotic relationships; and the history of fire in the Australian landscape. They will also have the opportunity to experience ecological survey techniques, like quadrates and transect mapping, wetland assessment and
