Invite Text:
The contours, bumps and crevices of the natural environment are influential
factors when considering the location, industry and cultural life of
a township. ?As time passes, human experience is imprinted onto
the landscape, and natural forms become re-shaped by cultural needs. ?This
use of the landscape forms multiple narratives that frame the lives
of the many people who have inhabited the space through history.
The making of a place maps the local landscape and the stories that
have moulded it into the familiar surroundings we see today.
