ACARA - Australian Curriculum Murray Darling Basin

ACARA Australian Curriculum Murray River and Murray Darling Basin

Welcome - this student/teacher resource is currently under development

We've developed this page for the Australian Curriculum to assist students and teachers in better understanding the role of the Murray River and the Murray-Darling Basin.

The region's value in both food production, geographical location, ancient Indigenous culture, natural landscapes and historical value to Australia are significant. We hope you enjoy the diversity of subjects, issues and facts. Please give us feedback and ways you feel we could improve this resource in future to assist in learnings related to the Australian Curriculum with a strong emphasis on history and geography.

Based on Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) materials downloaded from the Australian Curriculum website on (May 8, 2015). ACARA does not endorse any changes that have been made to the Australian Curriculum.
