Landscapes of the Savnnas can be very difficult to describe, this is because they can be described at different scales using different variables to describe them. You can describe a landscape by looking at its geography or topography such as the hills, rivers and gullies. You may also look for signs and stories about how these places have been changed by humans. This can be known as the cultural landscape.
The landscape of the tropical savannas can be described in several ways. The term ‘savanna’ usually refers to a grassy landscape, or just grasslands or woodlands with a grass understorey that happen in tropical areas that have a dry season. More accurately the tropical savannas region of northern Australia can be described as a series of landscapes. If you climbed a small hill somewhere in the tropical savannas and looked all around you as far as your eye could see, you would notice flat spaces, with small hills.
The tropical savanna's region has many diverse landscapes. In places the landscape consists of gently rolling hills covered with high grasses, a few trees and several rocky outcrops, in others rocky plateaus with deep gorges, trickling creeks and pockets of rainforest are found. Closer to the coast the landscape of the tropical savannas may be described during the wet season as consisting of wide flooded coastal plains dominated by melaleuca forests, or swampy tidal mangrove forests.
