    WOOL IN AUSTRALIA

    AND THE AUSTRALIAN SHEEPSKIN BOOT

    Australia's love affair with wool stretches back to the arrival of sheep, with the First Fleet in 1788. The wool industry has dominated our economy, our agriculatural practices, our collective imagination and our global reputation as a quality wool growing nation. Australian wool is considered the most premium wool in the world.
