An Invitation to Share
Geographical Education is a refereed journal. Articles submitted to Geographical Education for consideration in the Refereed Articles section are reviewed anonymously by a minimum of two referees.

Contributions to other sections such as Book Reviews and Reports are not refereed. The ISSN for Geographical Education is ISSN 2204-0242.
We invite your participation in producing this journal. Geographical Education encourages school, university teachers and all others interested in geography to share their research, ideas and experiences in order to promote sound practice, innovative strategies, modern developments and reflection in geographical education.
Contributions of varying length are invited, with a maximum of 5000 words for major articles and research reports. Shorter articles of 2000 words, featuring classroom strategies, reflections on issues and practices in geography teaching, in-service education workshops and comments on previous articles are especially welcome.
Lesson plans, teaching units and how-to-do-it advice on classroom and field skills are also invited as long as they have relevance for a broad range of teachers across Australia.
