Adis and Medina Ćehić, Bosnian refugees who arrived in Australia in 1999, sought to reconnect their children with nature after years in Melbourne's urban environment. Moving an hour outside the city, they aimed to recreate the rural simplicity of their own childhoods in Bosnia. The presence of sheep on their property symbolizes the cultural bridge between their past and present, intertwining the values of both Australian and Bosnian lifestyles.
