YEAR 11 OUTDOOR EDUCATION MT STERLLING ASSSIGNMENT
BY BRADLEY SHALLARD H08

PART A:
Mt Sterling is iconic mountain just a couple hours away from Melbourne and its sits right next to the famous Mt Buller. It is one of the only untouched Alpine areas in the country and its natural beauty is draw dropping to say the least. It has an amazing history and what it has to offer is impeccable. Its amazing scenery and views can be witnessed by anybody because the summit isn’t too far of a walk. The peak of the mountain sits at 1749 metres and looks into a beautiful landscape that is defiantly worth the walk.
For many years Mt Stirling has attracted cross-country skiers, horse riders and people that want to truly escape into an untouched environment. The summit was used for cattle grazing. In 1994 the decision was made to develop the mountain for downhill skiing and the future for the mountain was not looking bright. Fortunately, the Victorian government announced in 1997 that the plans to develop the mountain for skiing have been overturned and to keep Mt Sterling all season, nature based tourist, recreational, and also an educational mountain that is inviting for everyone. Now at Mt Sterling they have put up many signs that are about the mountains history and they range on a various amount of topics. The mountain has no resorts on it and actually relies on the people that use it to look after it and keep it clean and pure. People understand how great and magnificent the mountain is so there rarely is a scrap left behind but ideally it’s our own responsibility to keep the mountain as it is. At 1500 metres, the trees change to snow gums and on the summit there is one isolated tree which stands out a lot.
PART B:

    Muir and Abbey

    It is difficult to find writers more passionate about the natural environment than John Muir and Edward Abbey. Both Muir in a section from his book A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf and Abbey in a chapter titled Polemic: Industrial Tourism and the National Parks channel anger and frustration at the environmental policies of their time into literature that argues fervently for preservation of national parks and other areas of wilderness. In Hetch Hetchy Valley, Muir reverently describes in vivid detail the beautiful landscape of a river valley in Yosemite called the Hetch Hetchy Valley, condemning anyone who supports a government plan to dam the Hetch Hetchy River and flood the valley. In a famous quote Muir says, “no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man” (Muir 112). Abbey employs a highly sarcastic and satirical tone to outline the consequences of further expansion of roads and highways into national parks. He aims to incite anger with sharp language and insults to draw the reader in emotionally. “This is a courageous view, admirable in its simplicity and power… It is also quite insane” (Abbey 422). Both pieces easily stand alone, but when looked at together they suggest even more strongly that it is deceptive and dishonest to advertise industrialization of wilderness as any kind of favorable progress for society. This “progress” does not actually benefit anyone. Those who proclaim this as their reason for supporting industrial development are more likely motivated by the short-term economic benefits they will receive.…

    Skiing Into Oblivion

    The issue of whether or not our lifestyles are environmentally and economically sustainable has been the source of an ongoing debate and prompted an opinionative piece with an accompanying photograph by Paul Evans, “Skiing into Oblivion” (March, 2008). Contending in a predominately concerned and passionate tone, Evans argues that our consumption of the planet’s resources is irresponsible and that we are becoming increasingly motivated by the need to attain unrealistic lifestyles driven by consumerism. However, he also encourages his audience to take action through the use of emotive language, saying that “it is still possible to change direction and take a conservationist route.”…

    Why Is Kangaroo Point Important

    Not only does Kangaroo Point developments need to coincide into the landscape surrounding, it is highly important to ensure that the surrounding environment is also protected. During the field visit, it was noted that there was minimal development within the area and a lack of parking available. The focal point was the stairs, with the café at the top of the cliff, with the bike and walking paths also becoming a focal point. Without these developments, there would not be too much within the suburb of Kangaroo Point. At the top of the cliffs, there is substantial housing, although it was noted that the space within the suburb was not used to its’ full advantage. After undertaking research and readings of the area, the Kangaroo Point Peninsula Plan looked to improve the developments of the area. The plan seeks to support growth within the residential community, improve the streetscape, and enhance the pedestrian and cycle links to parks and the Brisbane…

    How To Write An Essay On A Trip To Highway 306

    It is the first day of summer, as the bird chirping and brightness of the day blocking my view I was reminded about all my past summer memories last year. As usual Mineexa Street is busy and crowded with people who are driving to get Toronto. I was stopped by the people who are painting a rainbow in a wall that leads to highway 306. I was wondering what made them to paint rainbow in this earlier morning. I asked another passenger “Is these students painting the rainbow for a fundraising?” He explained to me that this place was a forest that has been isolated and abounded five years ago and now it becomes a shortcut way to the highway 306. Since this highway is newly constructed and it is the easiest and most convenient route to take if you…

    The nursing process is used to support models such as the Roper Logan and Tierney’s activities of daily living (ALs) in order to ensure effective care is provided for each individual patient. Other models such as Roy’s adaptation model and Peplau’s person centred approach can also be used however I feel in Albert’s situation using the ALs model will be most appropriate. According to Aggleton and Chalmers (2000) the nursing process encourages the nurse and the person being cared for to set goals. These goals may be short term, intermediate or long term in nature. The first stage of the nursing process is assessment. In relation to Albert a nurse would focus on a main issue being smoking. Albert’s heavy smoking is affecting his breathing and Albert is becoming breathless at times. The nest stage of the NP is planning. Albert’s condition is causing breathlessness; in order to improve his breathing a method could be implemented for him to stop smoking. The World Health Organisation (WHO) states; “Smoking cessation is the single and most effective and cost-effective way to reduce the risk of developing COPD and stop its progression Referral to the smoking cessation team would provide him the opportunity to use alternatives such as electronic cigarettes or nicotine patches/gums in order to make stop smoking a gradual goal to achieve.”. Lastly the care plan will be implemented and Albert’s progress will be closely monitored. As the Nursing Process.Org (2013) states; ‘Once all nursing intervention actions have taken place, the nurse completes an evaluation to determine of the goals for patient wellness have been met’. In relation to Albert Over a period of time his care plan will be evaluated by the nurse and any further support needed will be identified and further care plans will be made in order to ensure Albert’s Is receiving the appropriate holistic care.…

    Towering Pine

    After reading all of this it failed to mention on thing. It did not mention what should happen if the forest is destroyed because of a natural disaster. Before I finished reading all the interviews and content on “Towering Pines” I was leaning toward not touching the forest, but after reading what people thought, I changed my mind. Towering Pines would help the community as a park, because it is no longer a tourist attraction, it would help the economy by giving local jobs, and would be safer then leaving the dead and dried up trees there when they could start a fire.…
