Blackall Tambo - Blackall Wool Scour
Looking around Blackall
Blackall is a small town in central west Queensland that takes us back in time. It was here that Jack Howe set a record for shearing 321 sheep with blade sheers in 7 hrs 40 mins. The old woolscour has been refurbished and is the only working steam powered woolscour in Australia. Its an interesting place to visit and stop-over for a couple of days.
