A Nissen hut sits at the base of a vast open hillside, dwarfed by the slope rising behind it. The curved corrugated iron roof has turned deep rust-brown across its western face. White-painted end walls frame dark window openings. Timber stockyards and fence posts surround the structure. A single tree stands nearby, bright green against the muted grassland. Tussock and bare earth pattern the hill in every direction.

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.
