This talk will reflect on ways of seeing and thinking about landscape in heritage practice in the context of a recent heritage study in the far north-western corner of Victoria, the Rural City of Mildura.
It will focus on selected heritage places and landscapes across Mildura and the surrounding district that reflect defining attributes of Mildura’s cultural landscape—the river, the land, the trees and public gardens.
Dr Christina Dyson has wide experience in Australian garden, designed landscape and cultural landscape heritage, as well as urban and built heritage, at world, national, state and local levels. She has particular interest in and aptitude for the assessment and management of complex cultural landscapes.
