First established in 1869, the Shearers’ Quarters was home to Mount William Station’s extended family of shearers and station workers. A cozy and welcoming space that was built to be shared – for stories to be told whilst enjoying a hearty meal – and a place that provided a peaceful sanctuary after a long day spent in the woolshed producing the wool that would be exported to the Old World.
