Scattered stands of mature gum trees, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, punctuate the open paddocks, offering a stark, elegant contrast to the softer contours of the land, and the occasional glint of sunlight on a distant watercourse hints at the hidden veins of moisture that sustain this part of New South Wales.
