Steve Sedgwick – Salt Country

From the desert to the coast, this is an ancient country preserved in salt.

Its crust cracks the arid dust pans and empty lakes of South Australia and the Mallee.

Salt rises in the spume of crashing waves that hit headlands and bombies along the coast of the Otway Ranges where the Great Ocean Road slides and glides between land and sea.

The taste of salt is on our tongues and in our blood.

We instinctively love this country – its toughness, its delicacy, its great mysterious beauty.
