That walk is one of my favourite jaunts: Yankee Hat, a 7-kilometre saunter across a grassland pasture to an Aboriginal rock art site: a frieze of simple but stunning ochre paintings hidden in a cleft between two house-sized boulders in a whispering eucalypt forest.

I remember the first time I walked the trail. It was autumn and there was frost on the shade side of the cliffs and boulders; on the sun-warmed northern aspect, luscious green grass flourished, while on the mountains to the west new snow softened the wiry gumtrees. I’d felt a connection right away, the balance of topography and colour, water and wind, grass and trees. There was deep history there, memories so far back that a combination of light and landscape, absorbed reflection and the physical consistency of the steps was required to release it – but when that happened, and often it did, it was as if ghosts were matching my stride. Yankee Hat feels comfortable, but there’s an undercurrent of mystery about the place. Nothing malevolent, just a notion that there’s more than meets the eye. Maybe that’s why I keep coming back, looking for clues to the unseen.
