A dense flock of pristine white sheep cluster together in a lush green pasture, their woolly bodies creating a stark contrast against the muted landscape. Towering gum trees frame the scene, their gnarled branches reaching into a dramatic slate-grey sky heavy with winter clouds. The paddock reveals the nuanced reality of a "green drought" - grasslands appear verdant yet may lack sufficient moisture, a challenging environmental condition familiar to South Australian farmers. Each sheep stands alert, their collective presence a testament to careful agricultural management and resilience in a landscape of subtle complexity. Fence lines demarcate the carefully maintained grazing area, stretching toward a distant treeline that blends into the overcast horizon. The image captures the delicate balance of livestock farming in the South East region, where survival and productivity depend on intimate understanding of land, climate, and animal husbandry.
