Light bounces off its mirror surface, reflecting at me like millions of stars in a clear night sky. Out of the corner of my eye, I watch a car mount the kerb, hazard lights flashing as its occupants take snaps through the open windows.

It’s a cloudless day – the heady waft of lilies fills the air with the promise of summer. We’re enjoying a wine on the spotted-gum deck of our eco cabin overlooking a saltwater pool.
