The air carries a dry, clean scent, a whisper of sun-baked earth and the distant promise of rain, and the silence is profound, broken only by the rustle of dry grass or the cry of a passing bird.
The story of Kewell is etched in the soil, a narrative of wheat and wool that has sustained generations of families who have worked this often unforgiving land.
