Well, there are a variety of questions they can ask. For Physical journeys is like a metagenre, really really broad, but still it revolves around some basic ideas.
Here are some questions, hope they help ^^
"How does Skrzynecki's poem assist the reader's understanding of the varying immigigratn points of view on journeying back home?"
This following question was kinda a tipoff well, from a good teacher i know.
"A journey is more than just movement from one place to another. It is about learning and growth." What have you learnt about the importance of journeys from your study of physical journeys. In your response you must refer closely to your set core (prescribed) text and ONE other text from EITHER the stimulus booklet OR a related text of your own choosing.
Cheers,
Aeo

The generic question (which you should be able to answer) is "How is the notion of Journeys reflected in your prescribed/stimulus/related texts?" (have at least two related texts prepared)
I had collected a whole bunch of Inner Journeys ones, I'll post them once I find the courage to dig into my HSC stack. It's all jam-packed and oh-so-burnable at the moment...
