Introducing:  Mystery Class # 11

Our school Direk Primary is located in Salisbury North an
outer northern suburb of Adelaide.  Our class is a 5/6
class of 26 students.  The greater metropolitan area
sprawls over an alluvial plain fringed by hills to the  east
known as the  Mount Lofty Ranges and the Gulf of St.
Vincent to the west. The region enjoys a Mediterranean
climate with cool wet Winters and hot dry Summers.

Our part of Australia was settled by British settlers in
1836 on land  that belonged to the Kaurna people.  Sadly
little of their culture remains but some of our country
towns and suburbs such as Noarlunga, Yankalilla, Cowandilla,
Tanunda and Nuriootpa are lasting reminders of their
language.

We are now experiencing Autumn as those of you in the
Northern Hemisphere now have Spring.
