    I am guessing the Tooths and Berger ads are the ones mentioned in the Persistent URL blurb (see notes).

    Berger are still using the same slogan "Keep on keeping on" ninety years later, which must be something of a record?

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/165000525 - the Sydney Mail, 25th October, 1905...this Sydney Mail pic looks to have been taken a few minutes later...

    The Sydney Mail's caption: 'Wethers moving quietly into the shearing shed. The mob is led by a pet sheep, which is used as a decoy.'

    On p. 1058 the Sydney Mail states that most of the pics that appeared in its 'Harvesting the Golden Fleece' pictorial were taken at Belltrees station, near Scone, in the Upper Hunter Valley, in NSW...so that might be the location...

    These other Kerry & Co pics appeared in the Sydney Mail 'Harvesting the Golden Fleece' pictorial
