This year's Gotland fleece will be bagged and weighed ready for ogling and purchase. Cheryl will be serving tea and maybe even a cake to visitors.
The Australian Sheep and Wool Show provides the opportunity to see many rare breed sheep in one place. The competitions also have awards that are exclusive to aritcles that use rare breed or "heritage" sheep fibres. There is no larger show of these animals in Australia. Activities focus on wool and other parts of the Australian sheep industry. There is also a strong emphasis on "Women of Wool". Book your hotel and your Women of Wool luncheon early.
