Ironmungie Road Woolshed nothhcote a grimy window casting flatMismatched corrugated iron panels cover the walls of this large rural woolshed, rust bleeding across the ridgeline where the sheets meet. The gable end faces open pasture under a heavy, cloud layered sky. Corrugated galvanised iron became the dominant cladding material for Australian rural buildings from the 1850s, suited to a pastoral climate that asked a lot of its structures.
