About this image

Inside a bustling wool shed in New South Wales, shearers work methodically processing freshly shorn Merino sheep fleeces on wooden skirting tables. A man shearer in an orange singlet handles wool while piles of cream-colored fleece fill canvas bins throughout the corrugated iron woolshed. The scene captures the intensive labor and traditional methods of Australia's wool industry, where skilled workers sort and prepare the valuable Merino wool for market.
