Tom Roberts' legacy looms large North of the Murray. The famed Australian artist spent a considerable amount of time on Brocklesby Station, about 20 minutes north-west of Corowa, where he developed a series of sketches around the shearing sheds that would later become his most famous painting "Shearing the Rams". 130 years on, we invite you to explore our region's unique link to this painting.
