"A story of Australian Wool from the sheep's back to the finished cloth" - Part 1.

This slideshow, part one of two produced in the "Achievement" series by Crusader Mills (brand name of Australian Woollen Mills Ltd., Marrickville, Sydney, New South Wales), shows images of the wool industry in Australia. Produced in approximately the 1940s, the stages of production from mustering sheep to the wool sale and final processing at woolen mills, are depicted.

Titles:

• Shearing the Sheep


• Selling the Wool

Part 2, also uploaded, describes in full detail the processes involved in producing finished worsted cloth at the Crusader Mills.

At the end it is noted that card sets and a 16mm colour film were also available to accompany the slideshows. A copy of the card set appears to be in this collection:
