During their Geography Rivers and Tourism field trip, Years 10 and 11 students engaged in a comprehensive exploration of both the natural and human aspects of the landscape.

This involved utilising various methods, such as assessing river velocity, gradient, bedload size and shape, wetted perimeter, width, and depth. To aid in their investigations, students employed a range of equipment, including ranging rods, metre sticks, clinometers, measuring tape, and callipers.
