Sheep shearers work with precision and skill in a corrugated-iron shearing shed, their muscular frames bent low as they carefully remove fleece from Merino sheep. Dressed in light beige and teal work shirts, the two workers move methodically across the wooden platform, using manual blade shearing techniques that have been perfected over generations of Australian wool production. Crisp white wool falls in thick, curling layers around their feet, creating a textural carpet against the weathered wooden floor. The industrial setting - with its high metal roof and glimpse of machinery in the background - speaks to the blend of traditional craft and modern agricultural practice that defines rural Australian wool production. Soft blue work gloves and concentrated postures reveal the physical demands of this critical seasonal task, capturing the rhythm and expertise of skilled shearers at the heart of Australia's wool industry. The Al Mabin watermark in the bottom corner signals this as a professional agricultural documentation, celebrating the craft and culture of rural wool production.
