Shearing at Arcoona Station – Outback South Australia

I videoed and photographed shearing at Arcoona Station in outback South Australia.

Here is the full operation of shearing a sheep.

As soon as the man finished shearing, the roustabout took the fleece to the classing table.

The roustabouts keep the shed clean and carry the fleeces to the classing table.
