The terrain is a mosaic of rolling paddocks, their colours shifting with the seasons from emerald green after good rains to the muted golds and ochres of summer. Scattered stands of native trees, their bark a rough testament to the elements, punctuate the landscape, providing shade for grazing sheep and a dappled refuge for unseen wildlife. The light here has a particular quality, especially in the late afternoon, where it seems to thicken, casting long, languid shadows that stretch across the fields like spilled ink.
