More about the book
The book explores the origins of the Australian wool industry, sparked by a missionary preacher's return to England with a barrel of wool from Australia. His efforts to have it woven and tailored in Yorkshire caught the attention of King George III, leading to the establishment of Yorkshire as a key center for wool production and craftsmanship. The narrative highlights the intersection of colonial enterprise and British industry, illustrating how a single event can shape economic landscapes.
