• Patterns of Aesthetic Interactions –• Aboriginal – pace of life slow, allowed time to appreciate

small and large things in their environment – seasons, birth/death…

• Early European settlers - mid 1800’s – didn’t understand the Australian environment therefore aesthetic appreciation may have been limited and slow to develop.

• Late 1800’s – slow development of appreciation of the Australian environment as being different from European visions. More opportunities for bird watching, art, travelling to remote places

• 1900’s – realisation and appreciation of Australian environment, bird watching, photography, TV documentaries, art, travelling to remote places.
