Sheep Shearing and Cattle Droving in Australia. Filmed using a silent 8mm movie camera.

Sheep shearing and cattle droving were important agricultural practices in New South Wales (NSW) during the 1970s. Sheep shearing involved removing the wool from sheep, which was then sold to be made into various products such as clothing and blankets. Cattle droving involved moving large herds of cattle from one location to another, typically over long distances. This required skilled drovers who could navigate through difficult terrain and manage the animals effectively. These practices were often carried out by rural communities and were a significant part of the agricultural economy in NSW during this time period.
