Year 7 Geography Field Trip

Last Friday, the year 7 geographers went by bus to see some fascinating beaches. We walked along Congwong Beach, taking pictures, kicking up sand and learning about significant events occurring on this intriguing beach.

Stepping onto Bare Island (which was anything but), we found out about sea caves and erosion. The absolute best part, however, was finding out about how saltwater erosion and hydraulic weathering make those little holes in rocks which were always a mystery to us.

Our favourite part was strolling along Lady Robinson’s Beach, paddling and cooling down. We saw the effects of groynes, calculated gradients and scrambled to get off the hot sand.

It was fun, interesting and (most importantly) educational. Thank you to the teachers for taking us.
