Gentle slopes fall away towards the creek beds, their banks often fringed with a hardy, resilient scrub that seems to drink deep from the earth. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the faint perfume of sun-baked grass and the fainter, mineral tang of the creek itself. Here and there, outcrops of weathered rock break the consistent sweep of the land, offering stark, beautiful punctuation to the landscape.
