The article should cover one of the following:

 

  • Landform regions of Australia
  • Climate and climate zones of Australia
  • Biogeography or endemics of Australia (endemics are species of vegetation or animals that are unique to a given region)
  • Current land disputes between Australia’s Aboriginal population and non-Aboriginals/European Settlers

Then write a 2 page reflection paper describing that article using APA format.  Please write the reflection paper as if it were going to be the content for a traveler’s website (e.g., Trip Advisor).  Be sure to explain why the article provides information that a traveler to the region would be interested in knowing before visiting.
