This chapter considers the representations that are most influential for the people in the Gulf country. The white population has access to a huge range of literature and film that largely represents the landscape in romantic terms; and for both groups television provides 'role models' and stereotypical interactions with the land. These large-scale representations offer a steady diet of imagery, which has become powerfully formative in both the environmental relationships. The most common representations of the country are simple directions. In this, Aboriginal discourse is invariably both specific and holistic, often referring to places, ancestral beings, people, and their ties to the land in the same breath. European mapping has a complex history that suggests close connections between the growing sophistication of Western technology and the accompanying social fragmentation and stratification. In industrialised societies, developments in maps and art parallel changes in language. Both visual and oral representations reflect similar shifts towards specialisation and generalization.
