Woolscour means wool washing, and Blackall has the last example left intact of a stream-powered wool washing
plant with a working shearing shed attached. It operated under steam power from 1908 until 1978 and remains today as it operated.
A visit to the woolscour will allow your imagination to be captured by the secrets of the steam machinery.
There is a 20 stand shearing shed attached to the complex. Tour guides are on site every day from 8.00 to 4.00pm during April to November.
