In example of Brownhill creek park, there are different experience of heights show the changes and existence of terrain.In short, terrain is the appearance of the earth’s surface, a surface element of the external environment. Terrain includes complex and diverse types, mainly divided into two categories: natural terrain such as valleys, mountains, hills, grasslands, and plains.On the other hand, it can be said that terrain is one of the landscape elements. Because there is often a large number of different terrains present in the landscape. These include natural features, including terrain, bodies of water (such as rivers, lakes, and oceans), and more; dynamic features, such as land cover (including native vegetation). As sure as the topographic landscape is a combination of various surface forms that are related to each other in origin. Such as mountain landscape, river valley landscape, lake landscape etc. Terrain refers to the undulating changes in the three-dimensional space of the earth’s surface. And landscape has sufficient terrain elements. Therefore, landscape is threedimensional space, is a place.

I think the landscape is a place. Through the last hiking observation, I discovered koalas and butterflies and kookaburras, which provide a habitat for life on the basis of the landscape. The flame represents the rising fireworks of life, full of life. To understand the landscape on the basis of life, the survival and development of all life is inseparable from the landscape, and the landscape provides a good place for outdoor education and communication. From the perspective of outdoor education places, let us really see, listen, and experience. Our arrival also brings a breath of life to the landscape. From the perspective of communication places, it can be seen from the RV parked in the open space along the road that people like to rest in a place with beautiful scenery, which also brings culture and life to the landscape.As the habitat of life, the landscape is the space of experience. The positioning of life in the space and the identification of the place make the landscape and life one. So, after the above analysis I think the landscape is a place and an inseparable part of life.
WEATHER IS LANDSCAPE
A cold, stormy day gives the impression that mother nature is moody. Perhaps, angry at the way humans haven’t treated nature with respect, destroying and ruining it for development. A person experiencing brownhill creek on a day such as this, will truly experience the power of the weather. Trees shaking in the wind around them, rain pelting down and dark, grey clouds in the air. The storm has cleared, and the wind and rain have subsided. The Park feels like a whole new place. Suddenly, all the creatures that were hiding out the storm, appear. Energetic kangaroos bounce through the shrubs, birds sing in the trees and Koalas bathe in the sunlight, high in the eucalyptus trees. The once trickling stream has transformed into a flowing river. Everything is green from the recent rain, and all the colours of the park are illuminated in the spring Asunshine.fewmonths later, and it is the middle of summer. It is 38 degrees outside. This once green, lush environment teaming with animals, has transformed in to a dry, colourless landscape. However, there is still beauty hidden in this harsh landscape, insects scurry across the dusty dirt and snakes bask in the sun.
constantly changing factor within Brown Hill Creek Recreation Park. It creates many different moods in the park and changes the way one experiences the park.

Human potential for good and bad is epitomised in Landscape. Without the harmful touch of humans, nature will maintain a relative stability through the changing seasons, growing, dying, and regrowing, following the rhythms of time . However, humanities desire to grow and develop has consequently had a negative impact on it, resulting in a global environmental crisis. It could be argued the presence of people in landscape not only doesn’t define it but is detrimental to it. On the contrary, it is by human intervention that some landscapes can thrive. Much of the cleared farmland and quarries that previously surrounded Brownhill Creek have been revegetated and invasive plants have been removed and replaced with native species. Paths have been constructed and recreation zones have been allocated for the enjoyment of people and the protection of the landscape. The paradox is that through humanity’s greed, landscape and nature has been neglected and damaged to such an extent that it is only by human intervention that we can recover what has been lost. Do people define landscape? No. Can people help recover what has been lost? Absolutely.

STREAMS IS LANDSCAPE PLACE?

As a place, the landscape must have spirituality, and then water plays a very important role in it. The creek, the water flow around the mountain, the flow produces sound , drives the moist vegetation and life, and builds a harmonious landscape environment. Flowing water, still water, falling water, and different water flow forms create different visual experience of the landscape. The tranquility of still water can purify the environment and create space. The dynamic effect of running water enriches the landscape effect, and the drop height difference of falling water makes the landscape full of vitality. In Brownhill creak park, a stream running through the whole park is like a guiding line, which is the most natural route of travel, which is why I think the landscape is a place, an active, sound, interactive place. Streams provide an important ecosystem for many plants and animals, including fish, birds, salamanders, snails, and mammals. Different plants and animals have evolved to thrive in streams. Plants often have strong root systems that act as anchors, and long, flexible stems that can move with the current. Fly larvae nibble on leaves that have fallen into the water, and the flies themselves later. become fish food.
this valley is their retreat. That may seem a bit odd, as most of the autumn leaves are molten red in color. The ones that are left are burnt orange and pure, gold. One after the other, they fall on the ground, leaving the trees bare and skeletal. But still, the trees stand tall , firm, and strong, rooted in the earth. As you walk through the valley on the crusty ground, it smells of something not here for long. It feels more like an ending, the year draining away. If you ventured there at night, you would have heard the groaning of the trees and the ripe nuts thunking. You can feel the trees quivering as you continue on your trek, seeking new trails in the hopes that they may lead you out, and then there is an abruptly deadly silence. You feel like a tiny step would wake up the whole world. The trail persuades you to wander deeper into the heart of the forest. Step by step, the rush, and responsibilities of life are forgotten. Now, there is no longer a need to always strive for perfection. You can be just the way you are.
