Sunlight streams through gaps in the corrugated iron roof of Rocky Hall Woolshed. Empty shearing stands wait, their mechanisms frozen. This structure once hummed with the labour of shearers and the bleating of sheep.

Two large eucalypts frame a weatherboard woolshed at Rocky Hall, their pale trunks peeling in long strips. Rust stains the corrugated iron roof in broad orange patches. The timber cladding has greyed and warped. A newer galvanised iron extension runs off to one side, open-fronted with timber yards and a loading race beside it. The building sits raised on stumps over bare earth. Green paddock rolls away behind into heavy bushland under an overcast sky.

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.
