Located at Ray Hunter Memorial Park as you drive into #Wilcannia is a fascinating reminder of the region’s wool and pastoral past.
This historic machine, marked as a sole agent for Burgon & Ball Ltd, once played a role in powering Australia’s shearing industry.
Long before modern sheds and electrification, equipment like this helped keep stations running and wool moving to market. It’s a quiet tribute to the hard work, innovation, and resilience of outback communities.
Next time you’re strolling through town, take a moment to stop, look closer, and connect with a piece of Wilcannia’s working history.
