Physical Description

History
Due to poor seasons, poor commodity prices, and the war, marginal
area farmers were helped with Rural Reconstruction Funds. In 1945, the community sheep dip was built at Kalkalling with those funds. Lice free wool was economically very important to the struggling farmers in the Mukinbudin area. The first mob of sheep to be dipped belonged to Jim Mondy's father. Only about 50 sheep had gone through when a wether caught its horns on the chained plug and the arsenic solution drained into the drainage well. Young Syd Maddock dived into the arsenic solution and replaced the plug.
