Karen Ramsay rides like a sand witch.

For many people the coast, with its rhythmic tides and deep-golden sand, is paradise. Others love the rainforest and its soft undergrowth, towering trees and abundance of life and trails. People like me, however, feel a deep connection to the red landscape and endless space of The Outback. The isolation and unforgiving environment heightens awareness of mortality while making a person realise how insignificant we each are. Every time I return, it feels like coming home. I really do feel like there’s red dust in my veins and these revisits are restorative to my very being.
