Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Science, Technology, History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Great!

I worked in this shed in January 2000, most of it had fallen down but the remaining board and wool room I worked in had stencils of shearers names and dates on the wall from many many years!

If you're interested in this part of the country, the PHM has several other Kerry & Co negatives in their collection which aren't on Flickr collection.maas.museum/object/29531 - 'Shearing Board, Burrawang Station' collection.maas.museum/object/29483 - 'Burrawang Woolshed' collection.maas.museum/object/28242 - 'Burrawang Station, near Forbes' collection.maas.museum/object/28251 - 'Burrawang Station, near Forbes'
