Woolsheds
The historic shearing sheds of Aotearoa New Zealand
Annette O’Sullivan and Jane Ussher
Inside the historic buildings of New Zealand’s heartland
Exquisitely photographed by Jane Ussher, Woolsheds takes readers to historic sheep stations in the North and South islands, and explores the rich histories of this key primary industry that are contained in their heritage shearing sheds.
From the oldest working woolshed in Mid Canterbury to woolsheds rebuilt after earthquakes, it is a celebration of the tenacity of the sheep-farming sector.
