ABOUT
Who is, or was, the world’s fastest shearer?
Is it Godfrey Bowen or Ivan Bowen, Trevor Brough or Percy de Malmanche-all of whom have claimed the world shearing record? Or is it one of the Australians, Johnny Howe or Ted Rieck?
Mr Mills’ close acquaintance with many of today’s speed shearers led him to trace the story of some of the great shearers of yesterday, to look into the early history of shearing on some of New Zealand’s great sheep stations, to compare the various record attempts.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
