In the late afternoon, the light softens, casting long, languid shadows that stretch across the undulating terrain, lending a luminous quality to the tufted grasses and the weathered fences that delineate the properties. The sky above is vast, a boundless canvas where clouds drift like slow ships on an endless ocean, and the silence is broken only by the bleating of sheep or the distant call of a currawong.
