Abstract (in English)

Professor McBryde relates the Aboriginal culture and its spiritual relationship with the land to the concept of Cultural Landscapes (recently taken up by ICOMOS and the UNESCO World Heritage Convention) and the relationship between human societies and the natural environment. The author examines the three Australian World Heritage Sites which were inscribed for their important cultural values as well as their natural values: Kakadu National Park in the northern monsoonal belt; the Willandra Lakes Area in the arid lands of western New South Wales; and the Tasmanian Wilderness Area in the rain forest and Alpine uplands of south-western Tasmania.
