Summary

The beach walk was amazing, exploring the sites along the beach with fresh air.

We walked from our school to the museum beach.

Looking at the different components of the walk such as safety, footpaths, aesthetics, traffic, crossing the road, facilities comparing to each individual person. Facing the difficulties in there situation and see what can be improved during the walk.

Points of Interest

1. resting chair

Seat down the hill was a very inaccurate position for a seat. It was in the bush with leaves everywhere, no pathway for access for elderly and gave an unsafe impression.

2. wheelchair ramp

The wheelchair ramp was very inconvenient, it was poorly designed and also wasn’t covered by shade. It would be hard enough to get up the ramp by themselves. Just imagine doing it in the sun.

3. lookout

Up the Darwin high hill was a lookout. This was one of the interesting places because you could lookout onto the beach and all the nature. They had railings so it was safe and relaxing.

4. footpath along museum

The footpath along behind the museum was a place of interest because it had an overgrown plant. A disabled person would not be able to pass.

5. unsafe place

The footpath along the beach beside the museum was a big hazard. Late at night someone could be hiding behind the walls of the ledge and could jump out and physically mug or hurt the walker.

6. aesthetic art

4. The mosque was a big feature of the walk, it had great historical meaning and was very creative. The problem was that it needed to be maintained because it was overgrown and needed to be retiled.
