Sunlight illuminates the interior of the abandoned Maffra Shearers Quarters. Peeling paint and weathered timber reveal decades of neglect. This dormitory once provided basic shelter for workers during the demanding Australian wool season.

A weatherboard shearing quarters sits low in green pasture, its corrugated iron roof streaked brown with rust. Three brick chimneys rise from the centre of the structure, their mortar lines still sharp. A smaller outbuilding stands nearby under its own rusted roof. Wire fencing and a steel gate mark the paddock boundary. Behind the buildings, cleared grazing land rolls upward into bare hills dotted with scattered gums, their white trunks pale against dry grass.

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.
