Activist: "I only buy wool-free clothing." Farmer: "What's it made of?" Activist: "Synthetic fibres." Farmer: "Which are made from oil." Activist: "Recycled synthetics, mostly." Farmer: "Which shed microplastics into waterways with every wash." Activist: "That's an industry problem." Farmer: "The wool I produce is biodegradable, regrows every year, and requires no petrochemicals." Activist: "But an animal is involved." Farmer: "An animal that needs shearing anyway." Activist: "I still don't want to wear it." Farmer: "You're choosing microplastics in rivers over a haircut." Activist: "I'm choosing not to exploit animals." Farmer: "You're choosing to exploit the ocean instead."

Sick of acquiring thistles & other blow-ins from the neighbourhood ? 24/7 biosecurity asset. Especially if a dense, to the ground shrub layer, is planted on windward side facing where invaders come from. @VicGovAg @WeedSmartAU @meatlivestock @WoolProducers

Get along to the @MerinoLink conference, one of the best (and most affordable) sheep, lamb and wool conferences next week in Armidale.

Today I made a portable, extendable 4g camera signal booster for Feral01. Signal has gone from 1 bar to 4/5. Even though the low signal still works sending pics 70km away, it's good to field test it with sheep. #BiodiversityInnovationAu

Blade shearing with Tina. Told me she does it to help out at these events & to show visitors that women do harvest wool. @WoolProducers

Help get farmers back up Faster after Disaster. Can Aus farmers claim insulating water tanks & shed electrics from a fire? YES ! Reduce tax on profit, reduce future fire damage risk. Many farmers don't know. Help them. Tell them. ato.gov.au/businesses-and…

Want some of your own? When it is hot is when vintage wool blankets turn up in the thrift shops & because most lack any storage room, they are put out & priced to sell quickly. Warrnambool Travelmate Anderson tartan 1980s. $20

1963 Defence issue Warrnambool made 100% Australian Wool. Around a campfire & in a bushfire wool is the least flammable textile.

The maths of the employment impact of the Australian Wool Garment Industry in 1908. @WoolProducers

Can Aussie farmers claim a tax deduction on the cost of a quick fill fire pump ? How about a high-rise drive-under water tank ? Yes. And Yes. @AFACnews @FireRescueVic @AIDR_News @HazardsResearch @vicemergency

@DavidSandow1 @woolinnovation What a great photo!!

Pre 1914, wool shorn and scoured on our property in the corner country all loaded up for the trip to railhead in SA. We’ve come a long way in pack design.. @WoolProducers @woolinnovation

The way it was. Aus greasy wool production in millions of pounds & av annual prices in pence per pound. 1880 to 1960. Rabbits kicked in around 1890 & 1895-7 were very dry years.

The Federal Government is proposing the 100km/hr default speed limit on roads be reduced. A recommended option includes 70km/hr for sealed non-signposted regional roads. Have your say by Nov 11 at 👉🏻 infrastructure.gov.au/have-your-say/… @ausgov

This is petty clever. A new fibre that's 30% wool and 70% cotton and let's wool be used on a wider range of fabric machinery. "Hopes new Australian fabric will revitalise domestic clothing manufacturing." abc.net.au/news/2025-10-0…
