Exploring Place in the Australian Landscape: In the Country of the White Cockatoo

Overview

This book offers an original framework on how to investigate, understand and translate sense of place at a regional scale.  The book explores contemporary sense of place theory and practice, drawing upon the Western District of Victoria, in Australia, being the ""Country of the White Cockatoo"". It offers a unique multi-temporal and thematical analytical approach towards comprehending and mapping the values that underpin and determine strengths of human relationships and nuances to this landscape. Included is a deep ethno-ecological and cross-cultural translation, that takes the reader through both the Western understanding of sense of place as well as the Australian Aboriginal understanding of Country. Both are different intellectual constructions of thoughts, values and ideologies, but which share numerous commonalities due to their archetypal meanings, feelings and values transmitted to humans.
