The Sheep's Back Museum

The Sheep's Back Museum displays exhibitions about wool production, shearing practices, and farming methods in multiple galleries within a former flour mill.

The museum occupies an 1870s stone flour mill building, which became the National Trust SA headquarters for the Naracoorte Branch in 1984.

The galleries present the development of wool production through artifacts, photographs, and documentation of traditional farming techniques used in southeastern Australia.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 10 Australian dollars.

The Big Shed contains a Robotic Shearer, an early automated wool harvesting technology developed specifically in South Australia.
