CURRICULUM RELEVANCE: Two On the Great Divide is curriculum relevant to Years 7–10 studies in Geography, Humanities, SOSE/HSIE and Cultural Studies. The content focuses on the formation of the Australian continent and culture. It draws analogies between the physical landscape and settlement patterns, examines the impact of our cultural heritage and analyses socioeconomic divisions in our society. 2 Series synopsis production notes

This final instalment of the journey looks at the future of the nation as John Doyle and Tim Flannery start the last leg of their journey, through Queensland, ending up just seven kilometres from Papua New Guinea.

Gold Coast

To a great extent, personal wealth determines our social structure, yet our eclectic heritage brings another form of wealth to the nation; Australia enjoys the richness of cultural vari- ety. Multiculturalism, like the Great Dividing Range, encompasses European to Asian cultural influences.
