It is a landscape that breathes with a quiet persistence, each ripple of the earth a testament to the slow, deliberate shaping by wind and sun.
This is a country built on the sweat of the land, where the economic heartbeat of Lower Hotham has long been tied to the cultivation of grain and the grazing of sheep.
