Bring back the great Aussie shearer | Amazing Australia | ABC Australia

After 35 years out of the shearing sheds, former gun shearer Darryl Cole has picked up the hand piece and returned to the woolsheds. It wasn’t government incentives or a shearing shortage that lured the 71 year old back, but a yearning for camaraderie and a bit of hard yakka.

The Traditional Aussie!
Modernisation is stripping us from nationalism and function.
We need to return back to the organic life, where we control machines. Now we’re being controlled by machines.
Let’s hold on to what we got, when we lose it, we will never get it back!
