An integral part of Australia’s heritage, the wool industry is one which spans across generations and families. At the Merriman Shearing School in Brewarrina, NSW, one man is determined to keep tradition alive whilst also providing the students with an opportunity for a better future.
Established in 2010 and sitting on a 16,000-hectare property, the Merriman Shearing School has changed the lives of more than 150 students, generally aged between 15 and 30. Owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation and supported by AWI, the school runs two 16-week courses each year, offering a Certificate Two in Rural Operations and aims to find jobs for young Indigenous Australians within the wool industry.
