Before we went to our house-sit, we spent one night in Wagin where each year they hold Wagin Woolorama which showcases the best wool sheep in our state. It would be similar to a State Fair in the USA. In a paddock near the caravan park, some creative person has put up a variety of items advertising Woolorama. There is a pink racehorse made out of drums and several sheep made from corrugated iron. The cemetery is in the background.

The horse looks like it has a broken leg... The whole setup is interesting, though.

It's not the best drum horse I've ever seen!

@JudyEv I wasn't complaining. I doubt I could do any better.

Are they the best wool producers or what? Softest wool?

There is a lot of wool grown in the greater region around Wagin. I guess it's sold for producing woollen cloth, but it's not coarse enough for carpets. So there are classes for sheep of different ages and for fleeces. Sheep can have strong, fine or medium wool and each has a separate usage.

@judyev That all seems so settled, tranquil, slow and a lot of other wholesome things as well.

It's a sleepy little town mostly but come Woolorama, the whole place is buzzing.

That sounds like a unique and whimsical display! It would certainly be an eye-catching sight near the caravan park.

We haven't been to the event for some years. Our nephew does very well with his sheep and their fleeces.

Those are so cute!!! Like my tree branch bugs, that’s something I’d be stopping and looking at when I passed it on the highway!

I hope people are careful touching the sheep. They can get tetanus.
