The patterns of the land in sterling silver. Myriads of dry watercourses and lines of vegetation marking the water below. Flying across Australia on a clear day (and most days there are clear) is a wonderful experience. The reds of the desert, the silver of the salt-lakes and the tracery of the world’s most ancient water courses, etch the landscape with extra-ordinary patterns and colours that uncannily reflect the painting of the western desert indigenous people who could never have seen the land from this view.
