Rubyvale - Queensland’s Gemfields.
Dust, light, and code intertwine. Cicadas hum in binary rhythm, sapphires pulse like neurons beneath the soil, and the land itself seems awake.
A fusion of Australian folklore, environmental realism, and sci-fi metaphysics - where the outback becomes a living consciousness.
