Isis Downs Woolshed, Heritage-listed shearing shed in Isisford, Queensland, Australia.
The Isis Downs Woolshed features a semi-circular design with 52 shearing stands arranged around the interior of a prefabricated steel building clad with corrugated iron.
The property, established in 1867 and named after England's Isis River, grew to encompass 200,000 hectares by 1910 under the ownership of Sir Rupert Clarke.
The facility employed 150 permanent staff before World War II and stood as a center of wool production, contributing substantially to Queensland's agricultural development.
Located on Isisford-Blackall Road, 20 kilometers east of Isisford, the complex contains original machinery including steam engines, hydraulic pumps, and wool transport equipment.
Engineers Kay, MacNicol and Company designed this structure in 1913 as Australia's only circular woolshed, incorporating electric and hydraulic power systems for advanced sheep shearing operations.
