Burnett River is a very important resource for Bundaberg. We use it for agriculture, industry, transport and more. Without the Burnett River we would not have as many crops and industries. Bundaberg is well known for sugarcane and the most of the sugarcane is watered with the fresh water from the Burnett River. This River was named after surveyor James Charles Burnett, who founded it in 1847. Its chief tributaries are the Auburn and Boyane Rivers. The first people to use the Burnett river were the
Why Depositional Landforms Occur Along the Course of A River Rivers have three courses. The course is the journey the river makes to reach the sea. Rivers never have a straight course from source to mouth. Their course is always irregular. Along this course depositional landforms can occur. Landforms can be formed from the deposition of weathered and eroded surface materials. On occasion, these deposits can be compressed, altered by pressure, heat and chemical processes to become sedimentary
consolidate his kingdom. However, he now has his mind on a bigger prize, India. Alexander reached the Indus River, the gateway to India, in spring 326 B.C. When he arrived, he met up with Hephaestion, whom he had sent ahead to ready the river crossing. The Indus River is one of the largest Rivers in India, second only to the Ganges. It is no small task to move an army across such a large river, but Alexander had a brilliant solution. He would have Hephaestion construct a pontoon bridge, which is a

This would be more apt for the lake, but it stands true that when fly fishing, in land is a somewhat safer option than in the deep sea, especially for a beginner. River fly fishing entails a large number of options for
We live in a world brimming with natural spaces. Why are some sacralized, made the home of rituals, and cherished by religious adherents? This chapter focuses on the creation and maintenance of sacred spaces within the natural world. In this case, we have directed our attention to natural spaces that are associated with specific religions, mostly in the form of Hinduism and Native American religions. These spaces elicit strong sacrificial qualities that serve important purposes for their visitors

Design Matters Lecture with Juliane Wolf on November 1st. Wolf explained many environmental issues that have occurred in Chicago dealing with dumping in rivers along with pollution. As she lectured, she mentioned many projects that she has done. The Nature Board Walk at Lincoln zoo park and the Boathouse at Clark park really stood out to me. The reason why both of these projects stood out to me was mainly because of the environmental desire that went with it along with the similarities in reasoning. The

The deepest point of the lake is around 34-40 feet deep. I think you are wondering why the lake is called The Great Salt Lake. Well the lake is named that because of its salinity.

At the same time, however, it makes a statement on why languages are difficult to label and mark. The lines dividing languages blur very easily. Languages There are no handles upon a language Whereby men take hold of it And mark it with signs for its remembrance.

Renaissance proved to be one of the most prolific times for black men, especially in the arts, literature, and music.

Born in 1902, Langston Hughes had inquired several
I understood why interpretive sign in Port Arthur is good. On the one hand, this lecture taught us how to design a good interpretative design and how to distinguish good from bad signs and how to fix the bad signs. On the other hand, from my personal experience, I learned when I see some things, I cannot see the surface of the thing, the insight is more important than the surface. In other words, when I start to do things, I should focus on why to do and how to do, not only focus

No one really knew what Yuma was before irrigation. No one wanted to live here. Yuma’s crops were dry because there really was not crops growing. Irrigation affected farmers. The reason why is because farmers were losing money because their crops were not growing due to lack of water. Now that we have irrigation farmers can irrigate their fields
place: Egypt. Egypt links northeast Africa with the Middle East. This place dates back to the time of the pharaohs. Egypt is very appealing to me because of its many attractions, all the amazing Gods that Egyptians worshipped, and of course the Nile River. One thing I would love to visit Egypt to see is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Even though it would probably be really hot there it would be super fun to see this pyramid. This amazing structure is 455 feet in height, super tall. The website “nationalgeographic

This article effectively uses the ethos logos and pathos argument because it gives facts that support the points they made. It also gives reasons why the facts are true and it talks about the life of the villagers and makes you feel like you are living that life. Clifford Coonan, “Yangtze Pollution Irreversible as China

It caused all the ancient Egyptian communities to develop alongside the river. It also created a way of transportation of goods and people. This caused the development of boats and other water traveling methods. Providing extremely fertile soil is one, if not the most important, roles the Nile River played in the life of the
people who have read A River Runs through It some time in their life, is a gift. Whether fishermen use bait, worms, or George's flies it is that much sweeter to catch some trout with a brother under one arm and a father on the other. The river and fishing made such a big impact on the Maclean family that it is the root of this book. The Macleans compared the river to life, went fishing to answer questions, and created a river that has a past full of memories. The river and fishing become metaphors

enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment. When I first looked at the picture, it looked like there were only two colors green and blue. When I got closer to the picture I noticed there were many other colors used.
