Exploring the 1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains<br />
Question<br />
Your Summary<br />
What are the Blue Mountains?<br />
What happened?<br />
When did it happen, and why did it happen then?<br />
Who was involved?<br />
Why were they doing it?<br />
How did they do it?<br />
What impacts did this event have?<br />
What is the significance of the event?<br />
As you consider the evidence and compose summaries of your ideas, you will also be asked to create your own<br />

others that have been published in the history textbooks that you use in class.<br />
Your first step should be to ‘visit’ the Blue Mountains yourself — through the DVD-ROM in this unit. This will<br />
raise many myths and mysteries for you to explore further.<br />
So, start exploring — and good luck!<br />
Let’s go!<br />
