Identify one feature of the natural and cultural landscape on both sides of the Ord River evident in the photograph in Source 2. (4 marks) Description Marks Western Side: Natural landscape – any one of • Bandicoot Range/Hills 1 • Dunham River • Packsaddle Creek Western Side: Cultural landscape – any one of • farmland/crops/irrigated cropland 1 • roads/Duncan Highway Eastern Side: Natural landscape – any one of • Mount Cecil 1 • Abney Hill • Natural vegetation – medium scrubland Eastern Side: Cultural landscape – any one of • Kununurra townsite • Kununurra-Parry Creek Road/Duncan Highway/roads 1 • airport • farmland/crops/irrigated cropland Total 4 In which direction does the Ord River flow on the topographic map (Source 1)? Provide one piece of map evidence to justify your answer. Note: Your map evidence must include grid references. Description Marks Direction of flow: North 1 Correct grid reference provided 1 Map evidence – one of: • Ord River is wider on the south side of the diversion dam at GR 673537 1 • angle that Dunham River joins at GR 665559 indicates flow to north • land at southern end of Ord River (7340) is higher (100 m ASL vs 40 m ASL) than at northern end (6765) Total 3 Calculate the average gradient between the highest spot height on Bandicoot Range and the gravel pit at GR 636566. Show your workings. Description Marks Correctly identifies heights as: 1–2 • Bandicoot Range – 318m ASL (1 mark each) • Gravel pit at GR 636566 – 60m ASL Working out: rise/run = 318 – 60 = 258 = 1:086 1 3000 3000 Average gradient = 0.086 or 1 For every one metre travelled, the ground rises eight centimetres Total 4
