Day three saw us on the road early-ish – over the ‘Mighty’ Murray and into NSW. Coffee stop at Deni and through the flatlands to Hay. General consensus was ‘not your most interesting run’ with 120 km of sameness to look at.
Lunch at Shear Outback after which we gained great insight into Australian Shearing Industry. The live demo was fascinating and informative – no really, quite impressive. Wool is making a comeback, prices are good and shearing is a great life, so we were assured, though hard yakka.
And, we’re film stars! Well not exactly stars . . . they were filming for a TV advert for Shear Outback and we got co-opted (willingly) as background extras.
Engrossing shearing demonstration
First cuts
Making it look easy – I reckon I could do that…Not!
Nearly shorn
A picture of concentration, you’d think we’d not seen a sheep shorn up close before…
At the classing table, with a classy audience
Who’s that with a candle in a cake before him? Could it be his birthday?
