Old Errowanbang Woolshed, Heritage shearing shed in Errowanbang, Australia.

The Old Errowanbang Woolshed spans across four levels supported by bluestone pillars, featuring 40 shearing stands and white cypress pine construction.

Built in 1886 under F.R.C. Hopkins, the woolshed aimed to process 100,000 sheep per season but reached a maximum of 90,000 during peak operations.

Names, hometowns, and sheep counts scratched on surfaces throughout the building document the daily lives of shearers who worked within its walls.

A clock remains locked inside a protective box near the shearing stands, preventing workers from adjusting the time to finish their shifts early.

Three 1907 Melbourne Cup horse names appear written in cursive on a wooden beam: Dyed Garments, Poseidon, and Mountain King.

Location: New South Wales
