Take for an example the management of abandoned pastoral properties, such as the Orroral Valley in the ACT. These places
need to be approached as broadscale landscapes, requiring management of broadacre processes such as burning or grazing
by cattle, or perhaps kangaroos, to maintain the open pastoral character, rather than being treated as an assemblage of 'dots'.
But note that these 'dots', in the form of homestead, shearing sheds, fences and machinery, also require specific management
regimes, not only for their own conservation, but also for the conservation of the landscape as a whole.
The point here is that neither the broader landscape nor the buildings and structures can be understood without reference
to the other - that is, they are both integral components of the same cultural landscape, and both need to be conserved
and managed to maintain the total landscape's integrity, meaning, and significance. The loss of one will reduce the
significance of the other.
