A corrugated iron woolshed sits low against flat green pasture near Colac, in Victoria's Western District. The roof is a patchwork of galvanised and rust-stained sheets, some pulled loose at the far end, exposing bare timber framing beneath. A raised ventilation cowl runs along the ridge. Weathered hardwood fence rails and posts mark out old yard runs in the long grass. The sky is overcast, grey, heavy.

The series
The Woolshed
The Woolshed is a series of working and former working woolsheds across south-eastern New South Wales, predominantly the south-east hinterland and Snowy Monaro region. Most are timber-framed and clad in corrugated iron or timber weatherboards, weathered through decades of use. Some still shear; many do not, as farming priorities have shifted and shearing technology has changed. Woolsheds were sometimes important community meeting points, used for dances and other gatherings. The buildings were always built for function - appearance was never a factor in their design.
