At the end of Term 1, students were working through their HSIE Summative Task by investigating three contrasting Australian locations, one urban, one rural and one remote. For each place, they analysed maps to explore buildings, landmarks, services and infrastructure.\u00a0The students also explained how these places are connected through transport, roads, freight, etc. They then selected one of their locations to explore in greater depth, examining how it is organised, including its layout, services, transport networks and the ways people interact with the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Reflections:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Naracoorte is a rural area. Naracoorte has a population of 8,928. Naracoorte is almost on the coastline of South Australia and has a distance of 31.5km from Naracoorte to Binnum which is another rural area. Naracoorte only has one bus station and no train stations! Naracoorte has some services that include restaurants, hotels, museums and chemists. There are two main highways in Naracoorte: the Wimmera Highway and the Riddoch Highway. There are no freight trains in Naracoorte so they rely on road transport for their food. Naracoorte is inland so therefore there are no ports or boats. Naracoorte has one airport but it is very small. Only small airplanes can land there. Naracoorte exports most of their food to other cities and places. There are no trains or railways.<\/em>
