I can’t live without the country, getting out of the city, driving alone for hours on roads with few cars, tall gumtrees, sweeping paddocks, rolling hills, sheep, cattle, rivers and green, kangaroos, emus and rabbits that run in front of my car—birds that swoop, narrowly escaping with their lives....
