You step off the Volkswagen minibus and the air carries a cool, eucalyptus bite; the valley ahead seems to exhale. Jamison Valley opens like a deep, blue-tinged bowl, and the Three Sisters stand as weathered columns on the ridge — rock made patient and large. A guide checks the day’s order, and in a voice that balances facts with local color, points out the ridgelines where early fog will hang if the morning holds.
