If you are looking for a ready made unit that mixes classroom screen instruction with attachments providing question sheet attachments this unit fits your need. Board the helicopter at the Ngukurr airport. Fly across the savanna landscape until you notice a distant rim of a large sedimentary plateau. You are nearing this remote and rarely visited landscape. However, you will not only fly above and around the area. Your helicopter will land on one of the lower eroded ridges. As you step away from the helicopter you will be introduced to a very informative guide. You will be encouraged to look around. You will be directed to elements of the landscape which collectively will provide you with clues about the formation of a landscape millions of years in the making. Make sure you look at the clues which the guide uncovered. As a place of unique landscape this unit promotes student interest. As an area of considerable significance for local aboriginal groups having traditional associations with the area you may be able to gain some understanding of their cultural connection to Country. You may decide to use this unit to broaden student studies of landforms. You may decide to integrate this material with Aboriginal Studies which focus on land right issues and custodial responsibility for environment and land.
