How does it manifest its self?

I've seen it mentioned in a few relationship (and Archers!) threads as in "where is her hinterland?" or "he seems to have no hinterland" but Google doesn't define it in those terms so I thought I'd ask for examples.

Until this thread I have never known the word to be used in this context before, and I'm getting on a bit now.

Now you come to mention it, I would think of it as being hidden parts of a person's personality that they keep hidden, and probably for good reason.
