Dawn gentles over the Queensland farmland, the air dense with the smell of hay and eucalyptus. Pale gold light cuts through the lingering mist as a woman in a wide-brimmed hat scatters feed for the sheep. She stills, sensing a presence, and lifts her head. A warm grin curves beneath the hat's shadow, her eyes creasing with playful recognition. The moment is hushed, steady, and open.
