There's not much between Melbourne and Shepparton, leaving plenty of room for sky. All the gums (=eucalyptus trees) sneaking bluffly or cagily by the train window meant I didn't realize the emptiness until I took an evening train which might as well have been in a tunnel for two hours. But from the bus the horizon's far far away and the big sky is visible and endless!Some interesting phenomena along the horizon eventually when you look more closely, though, a landscape zipper only the white man would think of...
