Grade 5/6 have been looking at Extraordinary Australian Explorers and have been finding it a challenge to name many from our modern-day. We decided this was because almost every corner of the Australian continent has had at least one human toe planted on it sometime throughout history! Since we defined explorers as people who go somewhere no one else has been before, we chose to look back in time at our First Nations people and the many remarkable European men that followed after. Looking at the impact of exploration and reasons for their expeditions, we found many positive and negative effects. We decided to make up our own expedition and wrote job advertisements to attract other willing explorers to join our journey. We concluded that it was a rough task and that we are happy much of our land exploration has been done for us. While space and our oceans are largely uncharted territory, we still may have some budding explorers among us.
