The fieldwork and research questions are an opportunity for candidates to showcase appropriate fieldwork and research that they have carried out or discussed. It is pleasing to see the range of techniques attempted and the sources consulted in this work. Many candidates have an absolute armoury of fieldwork options and research resources at their disposal. As in previous series, the very best responses were able to describe accurately the group or individual fieldwork they had done linked to real locations. Weaker candidates became lost in case study information not focusing on the sources from which this data had come. Lists of fieldwork techniques can only gain a limited amount of marks and it is the use of these techniques in an investigation that the questions often require. Unfortunately some candidates again seemed to be caught-out by questions which asked them about post-fieldwork, ie results and conclusions. Remember that questions may not always focus solely on the planning and execution of fieldwork and research, but could also be focused on: (i) a description of the methods used to present and analyse the data;
(ii) a description of the results and conclusions; and,
(iii) how the methods of fieldwork and research were evaluated.
As stated in previous reports, the part (a) questions are always about responding to the resources which have been provided. Rehearsing how to respond to
Cronulla is a beachside suburb in southern Sydney, it is located 34.0574° S, 151.1522° E which is 26 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD (see figure 2). It is governed by the Sutherland Shire Council. Cronulla’s coastal environment is on the Kurnell Peninsula, which is made up of a tombolo. A tombolo is a sand spit connecting a rocky outcrop or island to the mainland. So this forms a barrier between Botany Bay and Bate Bay. The two areas of study visited were Wanda Beach and the Greenhills Beach development.
In the text they used ‘pretty bloody extraordinary’ to describe the project the Paterson is undertaking, the words give off an air of passion to the project. The writer gives off the impression that the whole project is extraordinary with words ‘grand, epic and phrases like ‘not a single soul’.
It was a slow scoring first half that ended knotted at 30, thanks to a Dallas Ennema tip in at the buzzer. Stony Brook survived the first 20 despite only having their star player Jameel Warney available for 7 minutes due to foul trouble.

A drought is one of the many natural hazards of nature that occur within Australia. It is a prolonged period of below average rainfall as well as continuous dry weather. This results in there not being enough water for individuals for essential everyday usage and causes impacts on humans and their surrounding environment.

Quote: “We were first introduced to rap music during one of our visits to Mobimbi, a quarter where the foreigners who worked for the same American company as my father lived” (Beah 6).
Assynt is a region in the south-west of Sutherland, a county in the Highlands of Scotland. It is characterised by water logged grasslands on much of the landscape, as well as large rocky mountains dominating the sky. To the east of the northern road, there is a zone of imbricates created by the sole thrust, indicating beginning of the Moine thrust complex. This sole thrust is also visible around the Skiag bridge area and also by Ardveck castle. The area has been of particular interest for geologists since the early 20th century, due to the wide range of rocks and processes that are present. For example, the ages of the rocks in the area vary from Lewisian Gneiss of Archean age, all the way up to the relatively recent Ordovician Durness limestone group, covering a vast portion of our planets history. The more recent formations are not found within the mapping area, and are more prominent in the east, and the Durness limestones have a much larger area of outcrops in the north, surrounding the village of Durness along the coast.
In Burgesses model, the central town is surrounded by poor housing. The housing is low quality but there is short commuting time. The further one is away from the central business district, the better quality the housing becomes but the longer commuting time. This transition from low quality housing to longer commuting time occurs in the zone of transition. When people move further away from the center, they can afford both the better housing and the longer commuting. In this model, relative location effected both the housing and transportation
I thoroughly enjoyed the Living Physical Geography course. The reason being, all of the knowledge I learned through the course of the semester was very applicable to real life and the way I view the world around me. The area in which I live in is full of different geographical concepts. The two concepts I enjoyed learning the most and feel are of most importance to me is the concept of anthropogenic changes and volcanoes.
The three techniques mentioned above will be discussed in more details in question 4 below.
