Wool flows like a creamy cascade as a skilled shearer deftly removes the fleece from a Merino sheep in a weathered corrugated iron woolshed. A loyal kelpie stands attentively among scattered wool clumps, watching the rhythmic shearing process intently. Two workers oversee the operation, their blue and teal jackets contrasting with the rustic wooden floor and golden-white wool. In the background, another worker in a bright red jacket manages the waiting flock, the doorway framing a glimpse of the surrounding pastoral landscape. The scene captures the timeless rhythm of wool production in South Australia's Mallee region, where generations of farmers have perfected the art of sheep shearing. Winter light filters through louvered windows, casting a soft glow on the working space and highlighting the teamwork and precision of this quintessential agricultural task.
