Exquisitely photographed by Jane Ussher, Woolsheds takes readers to historic sheep stations in the North and South islands, and explores the rich histories of this key primary industry that are contained in their heritage shearing sheds.

From the oldest working woolshed in Mid Canterbury to woolsheds rebuilt after earthquakes, it is a celebration of the tenacity of the sheep-farming sector.

"The woolshed had to be in original or near-original condition and preferably with a long history of family ownership.  I looked for unique features such as building materials, differences in woolshed design, rare equipment and other historic farm buildings.  This book is a celebration of the architectural, economic, cultural and social contribution of sheep farming to the history of the nation and a sober reminder  of the importance of wool today"
