Kinchega Woolshed, Heritage wool shearing building in Menindee, Australia
The Kinchega Woolshed features 26 shearing stands within a timber-framed structure covered by corrugated iron and supported by river red gum trunks.
Constructed in 1875 for Herbert Bristow Hughes, the facility processed over six million sheep during its 97 years of continuous operation until 1967.
The wool production center exemplifies the growth of Australian pastoral industries through preserved machinery, wool presses, tables, and an original steam engine.
Entry to the woolshed requires payment of an $8 daily vehicle fee at Kinchega National Park, located 15 kilometers southwest of Menindee township.
The building contains specialized sweating pens at its southern end where sheep waited before shearing, demonstrating traditional wool production methods.
