areas have more mountains and more mountain ranges which are too steep to build
anything and need flat land to build

new south Wales side

physically remain two separate cities in the future and not merge into one

PPT Slides 3-6 Questions and Answers:
1) Describe the patterns you see on each map? As you can see on the two maps wherever more
and more people live there is more rainfall there for example in Tully there is almost 2000
people living there and about over 2400mm of rainfall there
2) Build the interconnection between rainfall, natural features and population distribution?
3) Refer to the source and state the natural features of the environment which are important in
determining location such as Hobart, Gympie and Kalgoorlie?
4) Discuss how the Great Dividing Range influence where people live today in Australia?
Because Victoria and New South Wales are near the coast and near the beautiful beaches so
people might move there or live there for retirement and relaxation, that is why there are more
people in NSW and Victoria.
5) Select 2 states and compare the population growth between the two cities? The two states that
I have picked are Victoria and Northern Territory. Victoria has the largest population living there
as there are up to 627,000 people living there and as you can see in Northern Territory there is
only a max of 3000 people living there. I think the only reason why there is less people in
Northern Territory and more people in Victoria is because Northen Territory Is mainly dry and
very hot whereas Vicotria has a very tropical and wet area to live in which is why more people
tend to live in Victoria then Northern Territory.
