The Australian Travel Brochure is a fun activity for students to identify information about the state or territory they live in. They will also research landmarks, features, and areas of cultural significance in the state or territory where they live and find out other details about Australia. You may want students to research the answers individually, in small groups or as a whole class inquiry project.

It is recommended that the Australian Travel Brochure template is printed A3 so there is plenty of room for the students to write.

To complete the activity some of the information the students will need to research are:

·      The location of the states and territories in Australia

·      The location of Australia as a continent

·      A natural landmark, human-made landmark, a community place and a place of cultural significance in the state or territory they live in

·      Efficient modes of transport to travel around Australia

·      The capital city of Australia, population and currency

Support students to find primary and secondary sources to complete the worksheet activities.
