Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sheep and Wool Industry of Australasia: A Practical Handbook for Sheep Farmers and Wool-Classers, With Chapters on Wool-Buying and Selling, Sheep-Skins, and Kindred Products
Australia is at the present time the leading sheep and wool growing country in the world; it owes this position to the early pioneers who, with indomitable grit and courage, faced the Blacks, the droughts, the loneliness, and other dangers of the Australian bush, that only the stoutest hearts could survive.
At the present time there are numbers of sheep farmers carving out homes in the more unsettled parts of Australia's great continent, and undergoing a good many of the minor disadvantages of their brave pioneer forefathers.
I have often thought how valuable to them would be a well illustrated and practical handbook, explaining in simple language the most suitable sheep for the various types of country in Australia, and the best methods of marketing wool.
