Students are introduced to the processes that shape Australian landscapes. Three Victorian Bioregions are explored to understand influences and interrelationships of climate, ecology, land forming processes and management practices on natural systems, including the: a) Victorian Riverina, b) Goldfields, and c) Victorian Alps. Through practical work, field work and assignments students learn to use a range of techniques that will enable them to "read" landscapes from an ecological and an outdoor environmental educators perspective.
Capstones provide students with a way of integrating and applying knowledge and skills gained throughout their course.
