Credit points: 30
Subject outline
In this subject students build on previous experience in the Murray Catchment. Students undertake an extended practical experience to consolidate their knowledge of natural and cultural history, land management and ecology directly relevant to selected river and wetland environments of south-eastern Australia. They examine the notions of water in a dry landscape, developing understanding of how catchment use determines river health through exploration of the lower reaches of the Murray River. Students develop naturalist and paddling expertise, and knowledge of river and riparian ecology to enable exploration and promote experiential and interpretive knowledge of river and wetland environments.
