Gentle Annie breathes the cool, sharp air of the high country, a scattering of dwellings clinging to slopes that tumble towards unseen creeks. It lies 34.4 km east-north-east of Pakenham, VIC (from Pakenham, VIC: bearing 67°T), and is situated 24.0 km north-north-west of Warragul. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and greys, a tapestry of eucalypt forest, stringy bark and messmate, threaded with the occasional shock of a fern gully. The terrain is rugged, a place where the land rises and falls with a determined, almost grudging, grace, and the sky seems to stretch out with an unusual, luminous clarity, especially in the late afternoon when the light turns a pale, buttery gold.
This particular stretch of country, known to travellers as Gentle Annie, carries the quiet hum of agricultural endeavour, a history etched not in grand monuments but in the patient tending of the land. For generations, the economy has been tied to the grazing of sheep and cattle, the wool and meat finding their way to distant markets. Evidence of past mining ventures can still be found, subtle scars on the hillsides hinting at a time when fortunes were sought in the earth. The relative isolation has fostered a distinctive character, a self-reliance and a deep connection to the natural world that colours the pace of life in this rugged corner of the Baw Baw Shire.
