A lane of gum trees opens onto a low-slung hobby farm where alpacas lift their heads and the countryside smells of fresh hay and damp earth. You step out of the vehicle, hands full of vegetable scraps, and the animals approach with curious patience — an immediate, tactile connection to rural Queensland.
