41. Australian Geographer: An Introduction
competently covered by the Geography Teachers' Association of New South Wales andthe equivalent national body, the australian geography Teachers' Association.
http://www.es.mq.edu.au/societies/GSNSW/gsnsw08d.htm
A brief introduction to the Australian Geographer and its parent body, the Geographical Society of New South Wales, Inc.
[This paper was first published as an editorial in the May 1996 number of the Australian Geographer , the first to be published by Carfax Publishing Company
The Australian Geographer
1928-1996 and beyond
This number of the Australian Geographer heralds the start of an exciting new era in the journal's continuing development over nearly 70 years. As Australia's senior international geography journal, the Australian Geographer has been in the forefront of both disseminating geographical knowledge about Australia and its Asia-Pacific regional context, and publicising the work of Australian geographers to readers at home and abroad. The move to Carfax Publishing Company is seen by the journal's parent organisation, the Geographical Society of New South Wales Inc., as an opportunity to update and improve the content and physical presentation of the Australian Geographer and to reach a much wider readership than in the past, thus better achieving the twin objectives stated above. While taking such a bold and forward-looking step, the Geographical Society remains keenly aware of its long, proud history and tradition. This short introduction to the Society and its journal will hopefully convey something of that pride to readers. Sections relating to the period prior to 1988 are closely based on an article by a former President, Don Biddle, published in the May 1988 issue to celebrate both the journal's sixtieth anniversary and the 26th Congress of the International Geographical Union held in Sydney in August that year (Biddle 1988).

Professor Arthur James (Jim) Rose passed away on 22 August aged 74 years. Jim was Macquarie University's founding Professor of Geography, appointed near the beginning of Macquarie's history in November 1966. A New Zealander, he had previously been lecturer in geography at the University of New England and senior lecturer/reader at the Australian National University. He specialised in urban, economic and political geography and helped establish what became one of the largest teaching and research groupings of geographers among Australian universities. While keen to interpret Australian geography against world patterns, Jim was always suspicious of simply trying to parachute onto Australia the urban models and urban thinking of North America and Europe which had tended to dominate Australian tertiary teaching in the earlier 1960s. Jim brought this enthusiasm for developing an Australian voice in human geography to the foundation geography chair at Macquarie to which he was appointed at the age of 39.

Australian History, Geography and Civics and Citizenship
Compulsory Course Description - History The area studied in History in Year 9 and 10 will be Australian History from 1900 to the present. The course will deal with important and interesting people, events and issues. Through their study of the past, students can expect to gain a much greater understanding of the society in which we live. We learn about History from the study of books, research, discussion, role-plays, excursions, videos, interviews and the use of computers. Along with knowledge about the past and the present, the study of History teaches important skills such as research, analysis, and the ability to communicate clearly in written and oral form. Content
Year 9 Year 10
Australian Political and Social Life to 1914 Post-war Australia to the 1970s Australia and World War I Social and Political issues, 1970s - 1900s Australia between the Wars Contemporary Australia Australia and World War II Course Description - Geography Geography provides a unique opportunity for students to gain knowledge about the world's diverse societies, local and global environments and societies. The study of Geography also requires this understanding at different scales, including local, national and even global, and it also takes into account changes over time and space.

About Australia
  • One World: Nations Online-Australia
    Australia became a commonwealth of the British Empire in 1901. It was able to take advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II.
  • Australia
    Australia is the smallest continent in the world. Lying southeast of Asia, it is bound by the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Coral Sea to the northeast, the Timor Sea to the northwest, the Indian Ocean to the west and the Tasman Sea to the southeast. The continent consists largely of plains and plateaux, and can be divided into three principal topographical regions.

    Key Facts
    Top of Page Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Australia is an island, surrounded by water. It is located on the smallest continent in the world. Population: 17.5 million Geographic size: 2.97 million square miles Capital: Canberra Major cities and population: Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, and Adelaide.
    Geographic Landmarks
    Top of Page Australia has a very dramatic landscape. Australia is famous for its "outback," the remote lands of the interior. The desert outback covers most of the interior. It is too hot, dry and barren to support many people. Eastern Australia has large areas of grasslands, used primarily for sheep and cattle ranches. Australia also has some mountainous areas and plateaus scattered throughout the country. The Blue Mountains, on the south-eastern end of Australia, get their name from the blue haze caused by oil droplets given off from the eucalyptus trees.

    Its land mass of nearly 7.7 million km2 makes it the sixth largest country in area after Russia, Canada, China, the United States and Brazil. It is the flattest and (after Antarctica) the dryest of continents, yet it has extremes of climate and topography. There are rainforests and vast plains in the north, snowfields in the south east, desert in the centre and fertile croplands in the east, south and south west. About one third of the country lies in the tropics. Australia has a coastline of 36,735km - if it were possible to drive non-stop along the entire coast at 60 km/h it would take about 24 days to complete the trip. The continent is one of the oldest land masses - continental bedrock exposed by erosion is more than 3,000 million years old - and is the flattest of the continents because it lies near the centre of a tectonic plate. The average elevation is less than 300 metres, compared with the world’s mean of about 700 metres. The Australian Alps in the south east contain Australia’s highest ground, the highest point being Mount Kosciusko (2,228 metres). Australia is the only continent without current volcanic activity - the last eruption took place 1400 years ago at Mt. Gambier.
