Year 9: Chapter 4 - Gulargambone - an Australian community facing change

pg 113: 1-11 


1. Drought effects the community as it causes an environmental, economic and social changes within the community.


2. The consequences of the soldier settle blocks being built include drought, a decrease in agriculture and mechanization in agriculture technology.


3. The three main factors which have caused a decline in agriculture include an extended recession, the collapse of wood industry, and rising costs over 20 years.


4. This is because of the decline in sheep numbers to upgrade technology.


5. Lifestyle factors affect people as many of them don't like to live in small towns with limited amount of food supplies and transportation. 


6. The three pieces of evidence are shown to be the overall decline in population, an ageing population and a loss of services for the people who remain in the community.


8. The trend in population over the past 50 years has had a massive decline and then has been picking up over recent years.   


9. This means that there is no actual trend in the population.

10.
a. School enrolments have gone up and then back down but picked itself back up recently
b. These trends are most likely due to loss of services, the droughts and the technology advancements

11. One social factor from change is the population decline, one economic is the loss of services and an environmental factor is the drought.
