Conclusion

Well done! This WebQuest has taken you to Australia and back, and hopefully you've learned lots of new and interesting things along the way.

Something to think about: If two Australian students your age were planning a two-week trip to Japan, what advice would you offer them? This just might be part of the task for a future WebQuest!
