Photo Essay | Gindalbie Woolshed
Gindalbie Woolshed is a disused shearing shed and quarters located sixty-six kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie, in the Western Australian outback. Once a thriving sheep station, drought and wild dogs have taken their toll on sheep numbers. The local industry has been decimated, and sheep farming is no longer a viable option for station owners Steve and Joanne Tonkin, who now run cattle and harvest sandalwood to make a living.
Around the yard an old gambrel meat hook swings from a nearby sheoak, a rusted axe leans against a shed and saltbush grows through the springs of a tossed-out camp bed. The woolshed stands seemingly untouched since the shearing stopped, save for the dust and cobwebs, and holes in the corrugated tin where sunlight filters in.
