Landscape can be considered as all the visible features of an area of land, describe rela tionship that organize space. Memoryrefers to the past that exists in the present. Therefore, the combination 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 disap pear (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 land scape, 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 inter=actions with the land, which is also a kind of memory

CHILDREN When people live in aesthetically pleasing and culturally meaningful landscapes it can enhance our quality of life and sense of well-being. This sense of well-being is a memory that can be traced back to childhood. A child’s memory of the outside landscape is formed by personal experiences gained through active participation in exploration. There is evidence that these experiences are formed through the body, senses and consciousness and remain in the memory for a long time. (Psychol Bull. 2011 Nov; 137(6): 959-997.) Just as children will touch the plants, soil and flowers of the landscape with their hands, they will want to put them in their mouths and taste them, and this experience will become their memory of the landscape. The garden also has a variety of colours, and the visual impact of such colourful colours will also leave memories. For example, if you go to a landscape in spring, the colour of the plants will be green, but in autumn, the plants will be yellow. The smell of the landscape is even more unique. In summer, there will be the scent of plants, the smell of sunscreen, and perhaps the sweet smell of ice cream; in winter, there will be the smell of burning wood, and perhaps the smell of rain after a rainstorm. There will also be sound transmission in the landscape. Maple leaves falling to the ground will crunch on our toes, the sound of adults chatting, the sound of children laughing happily, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the sound of pigeons cooing, and the sound of water flowing. All of this can instantly transport grown-up adults back to where they were at some time in the past.

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 everchanging nature of the landscape itself.A specific landscape can be attached to a certain memory 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 decades 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?”

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.
