The building was constructed in 1870 as a flour mill. It is now an award winning
museum of the wool industry. Enjoy its sights, sounds and smells, and find out
about the people who worked there; the owners, shearers, rouseabouts and pressers.
See how lifestyles changed and techniques and tools influenced the development of
this important industry. The new Limestone Landscapes Exhibition provides an
overview of how the region’s landscapes were formed and the impact of this on the
flora, fauna and people. It forms a significant background to both Naracoorte
Caves and Sheep’s Back exhibits. A craft shop sells quality crafts with an emphasis on wool.
The Sheep’s Back shares its entrance with the Naracoorte Visitor Information Centre.
