Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has creasing at top and tail edges. Some fading and surface scratches to back cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

The Australian woolshed is quintessential Australian architecture, steeped in our history and folklore. Blown by ferocious seasonal winds, bleached bare by hot summer sun, survivors of flood, pests and fire, these buildings are synonymous with the harshness of the surrounding landscape and a testament to farmers' ingenuity, courage and resourcefulness.

But recent years have seen times changing. The national flock has more than halved from its high of 180 million, and this, combined with new health and safety regulations, is closing many sheds. They are fast becoming a silent symbol of our past.

Andrew Chapman, one of Australia's finest photographers, has embarked on a passionately ambitious project to record woolsheds in every state, capturing the grand and everyday. This is an invaluable historical record of an Australian icon at the end of an era. (book flap)
