Cheers Roy ! It’s a beautiful shed all right, I can only imagine the toil and sweat in filling that barn with bales of wool!
A real bit of history!

Beautiful old shed there , is it an old grain shed ?
Planting with a Deere? Have you got rid of the New Holland now or is it a contractor?Ready to start planting winter wheat ( Lancer. Most of our wheat crop is what you would consider “spring” wheats ) back into the mungbean stubble ( harvested a couple of weeks ago. Full profile of moisture under it, so as part of the plan to have living roots & groundcover for as much of the year as I can, going straight back in with another crop ) tomorrow.
Seed in truck, starter fert in 1 tonne bags.
What a house it'd make though!My own place ( about 80 km NW ) was originally part of Pullaming Station ( which was over 40,000 ha - 100,000 acres - back in the day ). I own part of the ridge on the edge of the floodplain where they cut timber for the wool shed, hence my property name “Milridge”, & the Pullaming shed. Not as big or impressive as Windy, but it is older. 16 stand shed, the main part is about 32 metres by 16 metres. At one point ( I’d watched too many Grand Designs programs . I’ve actually met Kevin Mcloud & shown him photos of the shed ❤ ) we were going to convert it into a house & live in it. Thank god we didn’t. It would have been an open ended cheque book as no one would quote apart from an hourly rate - it would have ended up in the millions - especially we have just come through 3 years of no income, we had to sell our house in town we built / were living in & took a job in town to survive . . .View attachment 961122
