Braemar is a sheep station, so here is a supercilious Merino ram. Not a good photo, but how hard it is to photograph animals, even domestic-ish ones. Every time I tried to photograph them, they ran away or turned their bums to me. And such massive scrotums! (Scrotii?) One was tripping over his. The rams were like a pod of raddled old bachelors.
I was lucky enough to be there on a day the shearers were working. Back pain must be the number one occupational hazard these guys face...
or constipation? The shearers' dunny, secured with a prop of angle iron.

Bewildered, newly-shorn sheep wondering what the hell just happened.
Late afternoon. Shearing over, the shearers' stands are empty, and the dusty boom-box is silent.
The covered yards
Old shed (another Graeme Sydney candidate)
Nice shot, if I do say so myself.
