Description
By: Dee White, Sarah Anthony (Illustrator)
The surprising truth behind one of Australia's most iconic paintings, Tom Roberts' Shearing of the Rams.
Susie lives on a sheep station and does all she can to help out alongside her sister and her rowdy brothers - collecting firewood, feeding the chickens and helping make the bread. But nobody - not the stockman nor the shearers nor the swaggies - ever notices Susie.
Until one day, a painter arrives at the sheep station - the famous Tom Roberts - and that all changes.
Based on the true story of Susie Bourne, and the painting of Tom Robert's iconic masterpiece, Shearing the Rams (1890).
