The crisp winter morning in South Australia's southeast reveals a landscape caught between dormancy and hope - a green drought where sparse grass hints at fragile agricultural resilience. Wearing a robust red vest and cap, the farmer surveys his woolly charges, their silhouettes creating a living landscape against the soft gradient of sunrise. Each sheep represents generations of careful breeding, their dense Merino fleece a testament to agricultural expertise and survival in challenging conditions. The ground is a patchwork of frost and emerging green, reflecting the delicate balance of survival in rural Australian landscapes.
