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.

Yet here we are. Taking the hint, the woman backs away, we drop our robes and jump in. Any bears in hibernation would now be awake from our ear-splitting screams.

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.
