Being famous for something often enhances some people’s sense of community. For example, today we passed through Julia Creek that had a welcome sign that read -
“Welcome to Julia Creek, home of the Fat Tailed Dunnart.”
Fat Tailed Dunnarts are marsupials that look a bit like a large possum. We’ve seen a few – flat on the road I might add.
Suggested learning activities:
1. Write a short piece on why your local community is unique, explaining your answer. Create a welcome sign for the town that reads similar to the one above for Julia Creek, except including how your town is unique.
2. Write a short critique on whether or not you think having a welcome sign for a town is important for the community. Explain your answer, giving reasons where possible.
