Neighborhood children sometimes come to help with the sheering tasks. A camping trip east of Melbourne takes you to the Snowy Mountains, temperate rainforests, and coastal plains. Roger, Janine and their staff do all the hard work! Sampling bush tucker on a coastal hike. Tom Guthrie, station owner, preparing the sheep for return to the pasture after sheering on a wet morning. Thermopyle sheep station in the Grampians.  Visitors during sheering season may witness scenes like this! Plan an overnight trip to see the Twelve Apostles, on the Great Ocean Road west of Melbourne.
