On 7 February, Year 12 Geography students went on a fieldwork excursion around the Pyrmont Peninsula. The day began with a walk through Wentworth Park to Blackwattle Wharf, with visits to key sites such as the future Sydney Fish Market, Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo, offering stunning views of the peninsula from the ferry.
Students explored the dynamic urban landscape, examining locations like the International Convention Centre, Australian National Maritime Museum, Darling Island Wharf and Union Square. Along the way, they investigated geographical processes, including urban renewal, gentrification and sustainability strategies. Armed with fieldwork tools, students gathered observations, photographs and data to support their in-class assessments.
The excursion provided valuable insights into the social, economic and environmental changes shaping this vibrant part of Sydney, deepening their understanding of urban dynamics and the impact of human and physical processes on the built environment.
