Some may find it takes more than a few days for the slow, seamless pace of country life to impose itself upon their psyche. Others might simply let the solitude and beauties of the landscape overtake them, sitting to meditate on the rustlings of leaves in the cool evening breeze or the filament-like reflections of trees and rushes on the still surface of a dam.

In these moments, the memory of constant motion in the outside world disappears.

If you are lucky, you may even get to see one of the Powerful Owls roosting in the bush land next door. Our thanks to Kristy Philliskirk for her magnificent photo (right) taken in November 2010
