Landscape can be considered as all the visible features of an area of land, describe relationship that organize space. Memoryrefers to the past that exists in the present. Therefore, the com bination of landscape memory is the combination of time and space. In general, landscapes store, delineate, and evoke memory, while memory recalls, modifies, and shapes landscapes. In addition, they both emphasize the process of adaptation, produce and disappear (Bridges, Ben & Osterhoudt, Sarah, 2021).For this site, it is always in the same place no matter how the time changes. However, because the people on the site are different, it will bring different memories to the site. These people can be the first Aboriginal people to own the land, it can be us now, and potential tourists in the future. No matter what the purpose of everyone’s coming here, in the end, everyone will leave different memories. For the landscape, the Aboriginal people have managed the land for thousands of generations, leaving an indelible mark on history. For people themselves, first, having been here and spending time here is a kind of memory, and secondly, people will leave photos and videos of their interactions with the land, which is also a kind of

Memory refers to the process of acquiring, storing, retaining, and later recalling information. As humans,there is an innate need in us to have a sense of identity and belonging. And a common factor in this is how we find a sense of belonging in a landscape, specifically through memories associated with it. Landscape plays a huge part in contextualising our memories, and how we view the world around us. As the world and our lives change around us, the only we way remember the world we once walked is through memories. Landscape can therefore be seen as a way to experience time itself, explored through both the stationary and the ever changing nature of the landscape itself.A specific landscape can be attached to a certain memo ry made. A particular stream where you experienced a fall, or the campsite where you camped with your family are all different ways how landscape can be embedded in our memories. Even if you revisit the location 20 years later, you will be able to turn back the clock and relive de cades old memories.Conversely, the landscape hold memories of its own. The flowers remember to bloom every spring. The leaves remember to fall every autumn. The insects remember to return every summer. And the water remembers to flood back in the creek every winter. And this cycle repeats itself every season right Infront of our eyes. The landscape is ever changing and is the biggest reminder of the time passed.As said by George Elliot “We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood init, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers.....What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME AND HUMAN
Back in the 19th century, the first British and Irish settlers boarded the land of South Australia. Some of them found a village named Mitcham in the south of Adelaide. In the beginning, it was just a sheep station. As the population grows and families find their new homes. The sound of wind blowing through the brown hill and the taste of the stream became memories of home for many.Who still remembers the taste of Brownhill creek? Mitcham people do. They built the white bridge, waterworks, and pipes lines. Families would come here, take a hike, and maybe do some birdwatching. Fathers would tell their children that it’s the place their grandfather used to take him to. Climb to the top of that hill and see the ocean.And the Kaurna people, they used to call this place Willa Willa. After a long day of gathering and hunting, Kaurna an cestors would rest and drink along the creek; maybe they could even shower in hot weather.
HISTORICAL FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
Memories of the Modern DayFor the past 300 hundred years Brownhill Creek has witnessed and enriched the many memories and experiences of visitors, from indigenous Austra lians, to European settlers. Today the calm and serene landscape provides an escape from the bustling modern man’s life. The whistling of the valley winds, flowers and leaves dancing in the wind's path. The trickle of the streams transports one into a meditative state. Memories created by the scent of pleasing petra and flora after a September rain. When the weekend rolls around families gather around the park for a barbeque, then rest under nature's shade somnolent. The marvelling feeling of reaching the peak of the trail. The warm summer rays dispelling through the cracks of the canopy. These are the modern memories that connect one back to
