Australian Geography Tours

AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL GROUP GEOGRAPHY TOURS

Provide your students with the opportunity to develop their geographical knowledge, to understand and analyse real-world contexts and to develop an awareness of diverse environments.

If you’re looking for a way to excite and engage your students in Geography and provide them with crucial field work experience, an Australian Geography Tour could be the solution!
Your students can venture into the field to explore, analyse and understand Australia’s unique characteristics, up close.

Can’t find what you need? No problem. We can custom design a program for you!

Venture out and investigate the diverse ecosystems that Australia has to offer in this Geography tour, focusing on the effects of human activity and habitat destruction on diversity and sustainability. Students are given the opportunity develop their skills in data collection and analysis with local researchers in a scientific working environment through various fieldwork investigations. An individual project is also offered to students who would like to further develop their understanding of a scientific concept of their choice.

Tour Highlights:

Conservation Service Learning Tour - Costa Rica

Conduct quadrat surveys over seagrass beds and compare recorded data to areas with little seagrass cover to determine how seagrasses provide food and habitat for various organisms and how human activity can impact seagrass beds
Understand the importance of revegetation in creating wildlife corridors, salinity management, erosion reduction and carbon offsetting by collecting data on a revegetation plot with local researchers
Record physical water quality and conduct animal surveys to compare the properties of a perched lake and a window aquifer and discuss factors affecting waterway health
Carry out surveys in coral communities through snorkelling: Observe different coral types and gain a deeper understanding of coral biology, coral diversity and reef formation
Learn more about fire management and its impact on native flora and fauna in a fire ecology investigation

This program can be tailored to your individual needs. Please contact us for further information.

Explore the fundamentals of STEM and apply this knowledge to examine geographical phenomena in our STEM and Geography tour. Students undertake experiential workshops in areas of STEM such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics to broaden their understanding of key scientific concepts. This tour features fieldwork investigations designed for students to develop analytical skills and appreciate the complexity and diversity of Australia’s geographical features.

Tour Highlights:

Learn how to use a High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and a UV-Visible Spectrometer to determine the concentrations of substances in different samples.
Gain experience in genetic techniques such as DNA extraction, restriction enzymes, PCR and gel electrophoresis and understand the impacts of modern genetic engineering on Australian agriculture.
Learn how to perform safe Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on a high-tech Human Patient Simulator.
Conduct a marine debris survey and a case study of past oil spills and discuss how Australia is preparing for future oil spills.
Discover the interactions between animals and abiotic features in a wetland ecosystem and conduct a waterway health analysis.
Explore the evolving management strategies and the role of people, environment and research in the development of Phillip Island as a tourist destination and Nature Park.

This program can be tailored to your individual needs. Please contact us for further information.

Apply the key geographic concepts of place, scale, distance, distribution, movement, region, process, change, spatial association and sustainability to the real world with our Geography Fieldwork programs. Students develop investigative and analytical skills to conduct geographic studies through environmental surveys, observations and fieldwork, allowing them to make informed decisions about modern geographic challenges. Our Geography Fieldwork programs can be custom-designed to suit your needs.

Tour Highlights:

Snorkel and conduct surveys on coral communities to learn more about reef formation and coral diversity
Conduct a quadrat survey in a mangrove ecosystem to determine plant and animal biodiversity and the natural processes that occur in mangrove environments
Carry out a transect survey on a rocky intertidal shore and record the ‘zonation’ pattern of the shore caused by the distribution of different organisms.
Investigate the physical and biological factors affecting a perched lake and conduct a survey on aquatic organisms living within the lake
Calculate the species abundance and richness in two sites: an undisturbed site and a disturbed site subjected to past mining activities
Explore how the environment is altered by the presence of different forms of vegetation by conducting transect surveys in coastal dunes

This program can be tailored to your individual needs. Please contact us for further information.
