Seclusion and sanctuary amongst the Tasmanian Central Highlands. Rose Lucas writes of the Tasmanian Central Highlands - I paint the words. “Sudden rain hurtles hitting the land and sending it fizzing into ionised air the pungent smell of earth rising and mingling with a falling of cloud which roils and
clashes breaking the bleached day into the sharp edges of coolness its slate-grey blade and fractals of white dry grasses whip and flatten in the onslaught and a parched canopy of clustering gums turn grateful faces up catching runnels of water and splinters of amber light that flood paddocks and towering reaches of sky.”
