Important: As this is an Australian resource, the majority of lessons focus on Australian locations, states and territories. If you are teaching in a different country, this resource may not be appropriate for your curriculum. I may look at adding a more generic version of some of the lessons in future, but I am due to start maternity leave very soon (updated 16/12/2020).
