SANDRA: Okay,I'll do some work on those twoareas as well.But you're right,there's not much apartfrom some very shallow-rooted species.Althoughit's cold and snowy there in the winter,the earth isbaked so hard in the summer sun that rainwatercan't penetrate.So it's a case of flood ordrought,really.
TUTOR: So,I understand.Now,before we look ateverything in more detail,I've got a few factualquestions for you.It would be a good idea to includethe answers in your finished proposal,becausethey're missing from your draft.
SANDRA: Fine.
TUTOR: So,you mentioned the monoliths and the spires,which was good,but what area doesthe tribal park cover?Do you know?
SANDRA: 12,000 hectares,and the plan is at about 5,850 metres above sea level.
TUTOR: Larger than I expected.Okay.Where's the nearest accommodation?That's a practicaldetail that you haven't included.Have you done any research on that?
SANDRA: Yes.There's nowhere to stay in the park itself,but there's an old trading post calledGoulding quite near.All kinds of tours start from Goulding,too.
TUTOR: What kind of tours?
SANDRA: Well,the most popular are in four-wheel drive jeeps - but I wouldn't recommendhiring those.I think the best way to appreciate the area would be to hire horses instead andtrek around on those.Biking is not allowed and it's impossible to drive around the area inprivate vehicles.The tracks are too tough.
TUTOR: Okay,lastly,what else is worth visiting there?
SANDRA: There are several caves,but I haven't looked into any details.I'll find out about them.
TUTOR: Okay,good.Now what I'd like to know is...
