Sample question
A large area of a Victorian national park has no roads, buildings or vehicle access and is described in park documents as wilderness. Which statement best describes a limitation of using the term wilderness for this area?
  • The term cannot be applied to any area that lies inside a managed park.
  • The term can imply that the area has had no human presence or management, overlooking Indigenous peoples' long connection with and care for Country.
  • The term means the area is private land, so public access needs the owner's permission.
  • The term refers only to built environments that have been abandoned.
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

B. The question supplies a park designation and physical features; neither proves the absence of earlier occupation or continuing care. Using wilderness as if it meant empty or without human history can obscure Indigenous connections to Country. A rejects the supplied park setting, C confuses a landscape or management label with tenure, and D invents an abandoned-building definition. Specific cultural histories should be learned from appropriate sources, not inferred from the absence of roads.
