Learning experiences
Fisherman’s Beach/Long Reef Headland
The students will get to use scientific measuring equipment to measure the weather, which helps them explore the natural processes that change this landscape. They will gain knowledge of natural and manmade weathering and erosion during a guided walk by our experience educators.
