Summary
Three posters reproducing sections of a mural painting by Robert Ingpen, which illustrate a collection of reminders of the partnership between Geelong and wool. The first poster shows the partnership between woolgrowing and the Geelong Region, including the Western District. The second between wool selling and handling and Geelong since white settlement in the 1830s. The third is between the textile manufacture of woollen products and Geelong science and technology, particularly over the past 50 years. The mural was relocated to the National Wool Museum in Geelong.
