| Jake once worked as a rouseabout and shearer in rural Western Australia. |
| The hide of the animal is taken to a shearer in less than 15 minutes so it does not cool off. |
| This year's theme was women's work, and the spotlight was on a lace-maker, an embroiderer, a paper maker, a flax spinner, a sheep shearer and a gardener, all of them more than happy to share their expertise with all comers. |
| He was well known in the area as a shearer and wool classer. |
| He had finished his tea and was sitting in his Jackie Howe, which is a singlet with the sleeves out of it, and called after a famous shearer of the blade days. |
| Never did the sheep turn upon her shearer with a more commanding front. |
