i went to cronulla beach, in particular wanda and eloura beaches. it was the shittest excursion, it was full pelting down rain and our booklets were inreadable coz the rain made the writing or blurring and it was so wet that our teachers took us back to the school att 11 30 and we arrived there like at 10 00. so we only did like 90 minutes of fieldwork lol.

I resent Geography so much, mainly for the fact thats it has a boring context. My assignment is too big to upload here, if you want I'll send you a copy. For notes, i just bought one of thoes study guide books, summerises the facts pretty well.

I went to collaroy as well....didn't listen to a thing that was going on and got a shit mark for my assignment. I just find geo sooo boring i mean whenever i read phrases like "how the decision making by individuals, groups or governments in addressing the geographical issue" i just completley tune out...

Well, our Geography teacher explained to us that you do not need to go on an excursion to complete questions like these on the exam.
She told us that the question is asking us what we would do when researching an issue. She further said that the markers don't care about the lake you're studying, or the mine or whatever, they care about what steps you take and what strategies you use.
So basically she told us to make one up. lawll.

Fieldwork:
- Primary Sources - ones you collect yourself
- Secondary sources - when other people have collected them for you

1. List Sources (Raw Information)
2. Gather Data (Information gained from the sources)
3. Solutions
4. Communicate Findings (Report)

E.G.
Salinity:
- Take photos
- Sites
- Take Samples (Water, Soil)
- Draw Field Sketch

Then just outline the causes, effects and solutions.

Causes: Removing trees, overconsumption of water.
Effects: Erosion, Crack in roads and building infastructure.
Solutions: Plant more trees, reduce usage of water.
