Year 9 Geography Excursion

On Monday the 25th of August, Ms Nolan and Ms Xu’s Year 9 Geography students headed to Barangaroo for an excursion focusing on the changing land use of Barangaroo and its surrounding areas, noting the urban renewal and consolidation.

After arriving in Barangaroo through the newly developed Metro station, we gathered near the Cutaway to discuss Barangaroo’s changing features and the day’s itinerary. Next, we walked towards Barangaroo Reserve where we observed the area’s development and privatisation. Following a short recess, we walked to Marrinawi Cove, noting the pedestrian count and activity in the area. Along the Walsh Bay Finger Wharves, the adaptive reuse and gentrification was evident with one apartment being previously sold for $12m!

The day ended well with some great views being photographed of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House on the ferry ride from Barangaroo to Circular Quay.
