Weathered timber walls enclose the shearing shed at Nimmitabel. Its corrugated iron roof, rusted brown, shields the dusty floor where generations of sheep were shorn. Sunlight filters through gaps, illuminating the quiet space.

A single weatherboard shed sits on a low rise in the middle of open grazing country near Nimmitabel. Paint peels from every surface in wide pale sheets. One window is missing. The gabled roof holds its line but sags at the ridgecap. Behind the structure, tall eucalypts crowd the hillside in dense layers, their white trunks bare against darker canopy. Wire fencing divides the paddock. The grass is dry and tussocked in the foreground, greener closer to the treeline. Overcast light flattens everything.

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.
