Kinchega Shearing Shed

This is the view the sheep would have experienced as it came into the shed (without the shearers and without the sheep)from the 1870s when Kinchega Station was a busy sheep property... at its grandest Kinchega Station extended from Menindee to Broken Hill... for non-Australian visitors that's a large area- over 800,000 hectares. The last sheep were shorn in 1967 when the 6 millionth sheep was relieved of its wool. National Parks and Willife Service now manages and maintains the park attracting visitors from around the world.

This is another great image Kay. The history of the place is a nice added touch.

Very nice image. Great composition with perspective and the direction of light, shades and wooden planks. V

What a marvelous shot. You have captured the mood and texture of a shearing shed perfectlly. I can almost smell the lanoline. V
