  • In the shearing shed

    I had the opportunity to spend some time watching the shearing in a small shed. I've seen demonstrations before but never been in a working shed.

    G'day Alan

    A beaut collection of images - and I like the mono treatment too
    For us city-slickers, to go into a working farm / factory / shearing shed / etc. is a privilege and one to be remembered long after the visit

    A 'well done' from me
    Phil

      Thanks Phil. Yes it is quite an experience, as was the mustering.
