Free-range chickens scatter across a sun-baked paddock beneath a majestic, weathered river red gum in the South Australian landscape. The ancient eucalyptus stands as a sentinel, its white bark and gnarled branches telling stories of endurance through countless seasons. Golden-feathered hens roam the dry earth, pecking and scratching amid sparse ground cover, their movement creating a living carpet against the brown and ochre tones of the winter landscape. In the background, a hint of green pasture offers a stark contrast to the parched foreground, revealing the nuanced beauty of a green drought. The sky bears soft blue-grey clouds, suggesting the promise of rain yet to come, while the tree provides crucial shelter for the flock. This scene captures the resilience of Australian agricultural life - a delicate balance of survival, adaptation, and hope in a challenging environment.
