17.01.2022 "We had such a lovely time that day with my partner's family at their sheep station doing lamb marking and chopping wood. As we were saying goodbye, my mother in law spotted a tiny rainbow over the horizon so we rushed to the middle of the red dirt fields to see it better, and as we arrived, it was waiting for us, so full, so extraordinary it took our breath away. That rainbow seemed to welcome us into this magical land of the western division like the most fabulous door we h...ad ever seen. We were enchanted. They say pots of gold can be found at the end of it, and now we trully know why, because we felt so rich witnessing this special moment."
