Hidden Away

Mental illness is one of the worst explained and hardest to treat.
You can never really win a battle with yourself. There's only survival.
The road to recovery is long and not a path lit well by the dim light of society.
And sometimes the first step requires a little push.

Since she was 14, Sky Johnson has one place where she felt she can let down her guard and let the world inside, just for a moment. This place is behind an old, red postbox, deep within the old Australian bush, under an old tree, near an old, abandoned scout shed.
This is her place.
Well, her and her overexcited 3 year old dog.

The government wants to buy the land on which her tree grows and clear the opening that she has called home for so many years.
