The Old and the New

The Old and the New

Enjoyed a photo shoot today with a pro shearer Daniel – visiting the original Woakwine Shearing shed near Beachport, Limestone Coast, South Australia.

The old and the new, young gun shearer working in a shed with so much history within its walls. Daniel is seen here with a very old wool press that itself is steeped in history.

Canon 400D, fixed 50 1.8 lens.

The Old and the New belongs to the following groups:

    I haven’t seen one of those for years! Did you find out if they still use the press? It looks like its in great condition. Nice of Daniel to model for you ;D

  • Steve Chapple replied

    In very good condition but still hard manual labour. They now have an automated one in the shed but just cant bring themselves to move this. I am confident they will keep this here for a long time….
