You step into a rumbling Super buggy as the morning sun paints the sugarcane fields gold. The engine coughs, then answers, and the dirt track opens ahead — a raw ribbon through plantations, river fords and scrubby coastal plain. Water splashes against tires as shallow streams dare you across; salt air from the north reminds you the sea is never far.
