The air carries the scent of dry grasses and the faint, earthy perfume of distant dams, a quiet exhalation from the sun-baked earth. Sheep, like scattered white pebbles, dot the paddocks, their forms softened by the heat haze that often shimmers above the fields, blurring the sharp edges of the landscape into a watercolour dream. It is a place where the sky feels vast and unfiltered, a boundless blue dome that presses down gently upon the land.
