Heritage Field Visits
Expeditions into the field to explore human and natural heritage are a great way of complementing our digital heritage map resources, bringing alive student learning experiences within the community.
Field trips might include:
Taking a walk around your own local place and playing the detective, looking for clues about its previous history and recording aspects of its modern human and natural environment.
Visiting your local war memorial and recording the names of those who are remembered there for research in the classroom.
Visiting your local Commonwealth War Graves cemetery, visiting graves and recording for research in the classroom.
Visiting local museums and heritage sites and recording remnants from the past and heritage stories about your community.
Visiting national museums and recording object stories for further research in the classroom.
