Australian Curriculum Geography - Foundation to Year 6 is a series of seven books designed to complement the teaching of 

geography in the national curriculum. Each topic is introduced by a text or representation to support the Geographical Knowledge and 

Understanding strand. This is followed by activities to investigate the key inquiry questions, using the geographical and inquiry skills 

expected of the Year group. Together, these provide the framework for investigating the geography of Australia, its neighbours and the 

rest of the world on a local, regional, national and international scale.
