LESSONS FROM THE LAND – 7A HUMANITIES

The Year 7A Humanities class was reminded of how important the availability of water is to families on the land when College senior, Brook McCosker visited the class and gave an insight into her life as a cattle producer. Brook, told the class of the impact of too little and too much water on her family’s property – Nonda Station, which is located near Richmond in Outback Queensland.

The class was intrigued by personal stories of the loss of thousands of head of cattle in both drought and floods, and the flow-on effect of financial loss. On a lighter note, the class was happy that Brook’s favourite cow, Daisy, and hand-fed calves survive the trying times on the land.  Brook’s visit reinforced the content and skills covered in our Geography unit of work, Water In The World.

Thank you Brook for visiting our class!
