Broad paddocks, some neatly fenced, others more wild and untamed, stretch towards the horizon, broken by the occasional cluster of hardy eucalypts or the stoic silhouette of a lone shearing shed. The character of Sandhurst is etched in this quiet tenacity, a place that feels both settled and ever-changing, responding to the subtle shifts of season and light.
