Nimmitabel Shed Type:Framed Glazed roof trusses draw lightWeathered hardwood walls and a rusted corrugated iron roof frame the shearing floor of a woolshed near Nimmitabel. Sitting in the Southern Tablelands district of NSW, the shed is built to a pattern common across the region from the late 19th century onward. Sunlight cuts through gaps in the cladding, falling across a dusty board floor worn smooth by generations of work. Part of The Woolshed series.
