The landscape is a generous spread of cultivated fields, interspersed with pockets of hardy native scrub and the occasional shimmering line of a meandering creek, its banks often fringed with the stoic grace of river gums. The quality of light in the late afternoon can be particularly arresting, casting long, elongated shadows that give even the most ordinary fence post a dramatic presence.
