About the program

In this experiential learning activity, join current University of Tasmania studying Global Geographies of Change on the field trip component of the subject. On the field trip, you will be guided by Aboriginal Tasmanian Rob Anders on the eastern shore of the River Derwent (Hobart) or the mouth of the Tamar River (Launceston). By observing and interacting with these areas through Rob’s guidance, you will develop an understanding of key features of Tasmanian Aboriginal landscapes and the responsibilities we all have to them.
