Résumé en anglais
Although the Australian landscape is rich with the ancient dreaming stories ofIndigenous Australians it now also holds modern spirits that are fulfilling the role of uniting a
new nation. Several landscapes imbued with spirits by Australians of European descent, areintroduced and then discussed to understand the nature and origin of their spiritual meaning.
These places tell different stories such as how a symbolic spirit of ‘freedom’ imposed on amountain inspired a community of refugees.
Spiritual values are fulfilling the incorporeal needs of people and becoming a major focus ofnational identity in Australia’s pluralist society. Ways of resolving conflicting cultural issues and
sustaining spiritual values are considered along with how their integrity, authenticity andstrength can be determined.
