The air, even miles inland, carries the faintest whisper of salt, a reminder of the proximity to the Southern Ocean, and the sunlight, when it breaks through, has a certain luminous quality, catching the dew on the grass in a thousand tiny diamonds. The few roads that thread through Wangolina are more suggestions than imperatives, winding between sturdy gum trees and fences that seem to hold the land in their patient embrace.
