This subject is designed for international students as part of an Australian Language and Culture Studies program.

These may include meanings attached to land, landscape, beach and bush; concepts of native, introduced, companion and feral species; patterns of population, consumption and waste; and the ways in which Australians participate in green cultures and organisations.
