STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE

Architecture/Environment:
A crudely constructed woolshed comprising mixture of pine slab, weatherboard and corrugated iron walls. The building is supported by hand sawn posts. The structure is built on the ground and has a small elevated area supporting the wool press. The woolshed is still operational but reflects the working conditions of the previous century. It is located on the banks of the Murray, which historically enabled loading of the wool clip onto barges for transport to Melbourne and Adelaide ports.

History:

Recommendation:
Conservation by inclusion in the Local Environmental Plan
