Taken inside the Deeargee (DRG) Woolshed, Gostwyck, NSW. To me sheering wool sheds are like churches, their stillness offering sanctuary and inviting moments of quiet reflection. The air thick with the scent of aged wood and lanolin, dust dancing in shafts of filtered light. There is a sense of quiet reverence and history where, the secular becomes sacred. Where the rituals of hard work and tradition; generations of sweat and toil are laid down in the timber itself. The patina of time there to touch and to smell. If sheering sheds are like churches then the Deeargee Wooshed is a cathedral.
