Celebrate History Week 2021 with Bayside Council Libraries for this lunchtime lecture on the local wool industry.
Gamay, Botany Bay, is a long way from the sheep paddocks of rural NSW, yet it is closely associated with the wool industry.
In this illustrated session Leonie Bell, winner of the 2018 Ron Rathbone Local History Prize, will talk about the formation, rise, and downfall of this once important local industry.
The photograph from Bayside Council's Local History Collection shows men processing the wool at Thomas Elliot and Co.'s Floodvale Wool Wash, in their bare feet!
The story of the Botany fellmongers who removed the wool from sheep hides is a key part of the history of Australia's greatest 20th-century export - wool.
Botany is on the land of the Gadigal and Bidjigal peoples of the Eora Nation.
This is a free and online event. Registrations are essential.
This event is a part of History Week 2021 #fromthegroundup, organised by the History Council NSW.
Hosted by Bayside Council Libraries.
