Late afternoon light thins across the sandstone escarpments as the coach winds up the Great Western Highway and the valley exhales cool eucalyptus oil. By sunset the cliffs at Echo Point and quieter lookouts glow ochre, and small mobs of wallabies step into the open — cautious, curious, and largely indifferent to the bustle of humans.
