The air, carrying the faint scent of turned earth and damp soil after a recent shower, hums with the industrious buzz of insects and the distant bleating of sheep. This is a landscape etched by the patient hand of agriculture, where fences divide fields of ripening crops and the occasional weathered farmhouse stands as a solitary sentinel against the vast, open sky.
The history of Catani is interwoven with the enduring spirit of farming and grazing that has shaped this corner of Victoria. For generations, families have worked this fertile soil, their livelihoods tied to the bounty of the land, a tradition that continues to underpin the local economy.
