About the Book

It was once said that if the sheep station represented Australian autocracy, then the shearing shed was the true republic. Here, in 40 degree heat wrestling big wethers, every shearer is equal and judged only by their capacity for work.

The definitive history of the wool industry in wonderfully colourful and lively photographs and power word images.
