Undaunted by the weather forecast of 100% chance of rain, the Year 12 Geography students ventured out for a walking tour of the East Perth Redevelopment Area on Friday 3 August. This forms part of their Planning Sustainable Cities unit, where they study the challenges and processes for planning a metropolitan centre like Perth.
Taking the opportunity of the dry spell before the storm, we walked along the foreshore as far as the Matagarup Bridge, where the students took note of the forbidding sky as well as the scenic views of Optus Stadium. Being good geographers, we then took refuge at Yagan Square in the CBD for lunch.
