EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The man from Wagga way out back in deepest Surrey with 350 jumpjocks" we are transported back to June 1976, where the world of agriculture and sheep shearing comes alive. The image showcases Aussie Kelvin Furner, hailing from New South Wales, as he joins approximately 100 fellow Australian and New Zeeland shearers who have journeyed across the globe for the sheep shearing season. With a backdrop of picturesque countryside in deepest Surrey, Kelvin stands tall amidst a sea of woolly creatures. His weathered hands hold his trusty tools as he prepares to tackle an impressive count of 350 jumpjocks before sundown. The dedication and skill required for such a task is evident on his determined face. This photograph not only captures the essence of hard work within the farming industry but also symbolizes cultural exchange between nations. As these shearers embark on their adventure abroad, they not only bring their expertise but also gain insights into the traditions and practices of "the old country". The significance of wool production during this era cannot be understated; it was an essential part of Britain's economy and played a vital role in shaping rural communities. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we witness history unfolding - an amalgamation of two worlds colliding through shared passion for agriculture. Memory Lane Prints has once again preserved a remarkable moment that encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for those who dedicated their lives to shaping our agricultural heritage.
