I was innocently walking through the airport looking for the gate that would begin my trek home. I turn a corner, and I can't stop myself from going into spasms of joy...
I am thinking, would they notice if I just took a little bit with me! I could stuff some in my carry on. There is so much of it, surely no one would notice. Then I thought, if I can't take any with me, can I at least jump in and roll around in it. But I did manage to take hold of myself - and did not take any fleece home with me or jump in. I did touch it and pet it some though. And then took a picture so that I could forever remember the experience.
This large display of sheared Merino is truly a fitting display for the Purely Merino storefront of the Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in Australia.
I decided to Google this person and discovered this person truly has a passion for shearing:

It is wonderful to see people rewarded for living their passion!

That is awesome Line. See how travelling allows you to see things that I can garantee you wouldn't see sitting at Starbucks.
Really cool. But now, this is a statue of the guy with a sheep right? Not a mummy... And the fleece, is it washed or smelly?
I have to go there...
MM
Yes, it is a statue of the guy with the sheep. And the fleece was washed and so very very soft... I would not have wanted to jump in it if it was still smelly and dirty ;-)
Very interesting Line! Hope to see you again soon @ London Wul :)
