Contour lines



We have been learning to read contour maps to better understand the flow of water on a landscape. At times it is very technical, but we almost always go into the fields or garden for a practical application. For example, we used an A-Frame level to find the site for a ditch-like "swale".

Some of the houses in Nimbin are quite colorful. This house is part of the large community center.
