Focusing on the influence of nature in shaping personal and national identity, the paper discusses how Australian cultural self-definition is deeply intertwined with concepts of space and place. It highlights that the distinct landscapes of Australia serve as a crucial marker differentiating the colony from its imperial roots. This connection between landscape and identity is explored through Australian literary discourses, illustrating its significance from colonial times to contemporary discussions of nationalism, literature, and tourism.
