The air here carries the clean scent of damp soil after a morning rain and the subtle sweetness of wildflowers that bloom with quiet persistence along the roadside verges. Fences, weathered and sturdy, trace the boundaries of paddocks where cattle graze placidly, their forms softened by the hazy light that filters through the afternoon.
