Field Trips

Field trips are an integral part of the learning process in the Department of Geography. This page describes some of the main field trips and gives access to a range of pictures from each. We hope that these pictures do for this website what they do for our students:  reveal the true nature of Geography in the South Pacific Region.

WARNING !
These pages are very image intensive. To speed things up, before selecting the pages below, you may want to turn off auto-image load on your browser and select individual pictures one by one
