Abstract: Fieldwork involves the interplay between eyes (observations) and mind (background knowledge), the possibilities offered by both changing in time. Recognition of anomalies between field realities and received wisdom is critical. The method of multiple working hypotheses produces the most reliable results. Repeat observations and monitoring of sites are rewarding. These issues are addressed in the context of certain Australian landscapes and their global implications. Structure, tectonics, deep weathering, etching, unequal erosion, and reinforcement are significant factors in understanding and interpretation of these field situations, as is the dating of forms and events. Field studies raise as many questions as answers. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
