		But even as you tear across the Central Downs without stopping, you’ll notice that the flat grasslands are clear evidence of Aboriginal custodial practices: created by controlled burning designed to clear woodland and increase grazing land for game, they perfectly suited European pastoral needs.
		The Downs are relatively fertile and stud farms, dairy, cotton, wool and cereal farming have all been successfully tried at one time or another.
		During the 1920s millions of acres were infested by prickly pear, a South American cactus finally brought to heel by the tiny cactoblastis moth in 1930 – a success story of biological control in Queensland to match the later failure of the introduction of the cane toad.

		The Darling Downs stand out as the most unlikely of collaborations between longtime members of the fertile Australian rock scene.
		While it is not at all insane to imagine the driving force behind The Scientists, Beasts of Bourbon, and The Surrealists, Kim Salmon, working with Died Pretty’s energetic frontman and songwriter Ron Peno, the improbable happens when you consider the result that might flow from such a teaming.
		Supporting Peno’s acrobatic vocal brilliance is Salmon’s equally understated, elegant guitar playing, perhaps the most restrained of his career, made all the more stunning when you know the fireworks and growl of which he is capable and for which he is famous.

		The fêted guitarist has joined forces with Ron Peno, singer of defunct feral rock outfit Died Pretty, and together, they've stepped well outside their comfort zones.
		As The Darling Downs, they've produced a record of spare, tender songcraft, whose delicate shifts in tone make the simple alt.country tag inadequate.
		Armed only with Kim Salmon’s custom Cole Clark acoustic guitar and Peno’s singular voice and vision, The Darling Downs crafted an almost impossible album: a record of nuanced beauty, a subtle masterpiece that unfolds like a dahlia with each successive spin, giving the listener something new and unexpected at every helping.

		The Darling Downs is a collaboration between two career musicians of the Australian music scene, Kim Salmon and Ron Peno.
		On “All Fall Down”, the way Peno slides at the end of the line reminded me of Tom Lehrer’s Wild West parody “The Wild West Is Where I Want To Be”.
		If you’re curious, it could reward you, but not right away, and it’s riddled with tics and mannerisms that are almost purposefully thrown in to turn you away.
