Burwood - Stage 6 Geography

This excursion explores Study 3: Place and cultural change part of the Year 11 Geography topic People, Patterns and Processes. The suburb combines bustling commercial areas, high-rise residential development mixed with low density heritage residential areas, and is a transportation hub. Burwood's culture of place has been shaped by waves of migration from European and Asian countries. Evidence of change can be seen such as urbanization through increased density, and cultural change through Burwood's vibrant culinary scene and multicultural festivals, including Burwood's China Town.
