A Thumbnail Dipped in Tar - a gentle stroll through the wool industry by Keith Hutty
This work of non-fiction spans 50 years of the wool industry in Australia and overseas and is a book of great historical worth.
Through a series of photos and text Keith Hutty wonderfully captures the true life of the Australian farmers and shearers in the early 20th century.
From the author's humble beginnings as he worked his way through the industry to working and shearing sheep in other parts of the world as far away as Russia, this is a compelling read.
The inclusion of excellent photos adds to this remarkable book that is a great contribution to the heritage of Australia.
