Hi Gypsy. I loved viewing and reading all about this shearing sheep. What a hard way to make your living. I so enjoyed all the info with your great photos. Very entertaining and educational too. Thank you for visiting my black and white album and glad you saw some things you really enjoyed. My best to you, Dynna in MI.

Happy New Year Gypsy!!! This is a way cool album! I think I need to come over and take cooking lessons! Hubba hubba! Shhhh! Don't tell my husband! LOL!!! My husband grew up raising sheep and I think he may have even sheared one or two. You always tell the best stories along with your fabulous photos! May you be blessed with the very best of everything in 2004! Hugs! Jane

Great album Gypsy, I feel I've had a real education with this one. Looks like brutal work, but you have done an excellent job sharing the feel of the shed.. Pictures are wonderful also. Dave in SC, USA

WOW, Gypsy! I'm exhausted by just looking at the pics of these hard working Guys, (and pups!). The pictures are wonderful, and the 'telling about' just makes the whole album a special one! And .. doing gooooood work with that new cam, Girl!! Yessssss! Huge HUGGGSSS from Annie

Gypsy...Wow, these are really interesting photos. I have heard that they have to get the fleece off all in one piece. That must be hard to do and they also have to be careful not to hurt the animal. I am sure the experts don't and I would think you must really have a talent for this. Thanks for sharing these. I guess spring is in the air down there. :-) hugs and camels, Barbara

I agree with Maurizio.....the photos are super, but the "telling about", takes it over the top! Bonnie

Hi Gypsy! A truly Australian Album -- a true-blue Australian Shearing Shed, and you have shown it "just the way it really is"! Well done! I hope the Cook gets a well-deserved rest now to play with her new camera. Greetings.. Gladys.

Great pictures, Gypsy! It's really interesting to catch a glimpse of the backbreaking work that goes on there, and some of the people who do it. You're doing a fantastic job with that camera. Isn't it great to be able to see your work instantly? Talk to ya soon! herds & whopping herds, Moze

OOUCH!!! My gosh, this looks like work to me. I am going to agree with barnchaser, I did have any idea what went into this. Thanks so much for sharing your photographs. Pam

What beautiful animals those sheep are, Gypsy! Look at those gorgeous blue eyes and pale pelts. Oh, that looks like such a hard life - for the men as well as the cook. You must really have to work like the dickens to get such meals ready for the shearers. What do you fix for sweets? And what do you drink with the meals? Gypsy, you have really chronicaled the process well. I never had any idea until I saw your photos. Thanks for broadening our world view! Charlotte
