North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance - useful information is under "Programs". Might be worth contacting them directly if you are after specific information or referral to community elders.

Extremely useful website (and Android and iPad app) that is real-time flight tracking. Click on any yellow plane to pull up a side menu that gives you flight data (altitude, latitude, longitude, vertical speed, etc.). Click on 3D and it will bring up a cockpit view (you must have Google Earth installled to access this feature).

Extremely popular and economical Australia-NZ wide competition that aligns with the AC. Students and schools get certificates and competition is easy for teachers to run. Please ask me if you have any questions about the Asia-Wise or the Australian History Competition.

Simple and very effective site with interactives that test students knowledge of simple, developing and advanced knowledge of physical and political boundaries and entities. Works brilliantly on IWBs. You may need to use photon on iPads due to flash issues with Safari.

Useful activity for students to improve their speed, accuracy and knowledge of locations. May also be useful for motor skills development. As it is considered a 'game', you may need to alert IT in your school to get it through the filter.
