The air, especially in the early morning, carries a clean, dry scent, tinged with the subtle perfume of saltbush and the faintest hint of the ocean, though it remains unseen. The sky above Whites Flat is vast, a boundless expanse that shifts through a palette of soft blues and fiery oranges as the day progresses, casting long, elegant shadows across the undulating terrain.
