Learn about the Alps
Australian Alps Education Kit
Australian Alps Liaison Committee , November 2005
Why study the Australian Alps?
A number of factors make the Australian Alps a valuable learning resource:
- There exists a very small amount of alpine and subalpine terrain in Australia
- Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are unique and the Australian Alps offer first-hand examples of these systems and their sensitive and complex management requirements
- The Alps reflects a history of diverse uses and connections, and
- Access to the Alps is relatively easy as they are close to regional towns and a number have tourist accomodation within park boundaries.
