Week 5

Create and publish a blog post showing a site of significance to you via Google Maps. Do not publish your home address. If you are adventurous you could even document a trail of some sort. Embed the map in your blog or a post a link to a Google map for your week 5 blog post. There is information on how to do this in the week 5 tutorial instructions.    

Lake Maraboon or Fairbairn Dam located south-west of Emerald in Central Queensland (Sunwater, n.d.).

It a sight of personal significance, as I lived in Emerald for three years before relocating to Toowoomba this year. The Fairbairn Dam was a spot where you could enjoy relaxing extracurricular activities and watch a beautiful sunset.
