Fascinating Fact:

When Europeans arrived, they found gold and other resources, and the growth of farms and mines pushed many indigenous communities off their traditional lands.

In KS3 Geography, case studies help you connect physical and human geography. Australia lets you explore climate, resources, patterns of settlement and the experiences of indigenous communities before and after European colonisation.

Key Terms

Indigenous community: A group of people whose ancestors have lived in a place for thousands of years before later settlers arrived.
Colonisation: When one country takes control of another land, sending settlers and changing its laws, economy and way of life.
Pastoral farming: Farming that mainly involves keeping animals such as sheep or cattle on grassland rather than growing crops.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Why is Australia used as a KS3 Geography case study?

Australia is used because it combines dramatic physical landscapes with clear examples of human geography. You can study deserts, coasts, cities, resources and the effects of colonisation in one country.

How did European settlement change life for indigenous Australians?

European settlement led to land being taken for farms, mines and towns. Many indigenous Australians were forced off their country, faced new laws and diseases, and saw languages and cultures put under pressure.

What physical features should I revise for an Australia case study?

Revise major deserts, the Great Dividing Range, key coastal cities, climate zones and important rivers. Think about how these features influence where people live and how they use the land.
