Abstract
People’s views of landscape can have significant impact on their land use choices. This in turn can have climate implications. In the literature, there is significant attention paid to the effect of climate on landscape, but as well, there are more examples than one might expect of the effects of landscape change on climate. I present evidence of this from Western Australia and Africa, and some conjectured negative and positive effects in two locations in South Australia. I argue that the land use change affecting the landscape and thus affecting the climate emanates from one’s view of landscape. There are also some personal reflections of perceptions of landscape from someone who started life in a climate and landscape far removed from the South Australian environment within which he has chosen to live.
