A large woven basket holds skirted wool inside a traditional shearing shed near Nyngan in central-western New South Wales. The wool shows varied brown, cream and grey tones, with irregular locks and clumps filling the basket above its rim. Rustic wicker baskets and working containers surround the wool, reflecting the practical equipment traditionally used during shearing and fleece handling. After shearing, wool handlers skirt and class each fleece to separate sections according to characteristics and quality. Stained, matted, shorter or otherwise lower-value sections may be removed from the main fleece during this process. These wool pieces can still have commercial value depending on their quality and classification. Nyngan lies within an established pastoral district where sheep and wool production have contributed to the agricultural economy for generations. The scene captures a practical stage of wool preparation within Australia's sheep industry.
