Farmers herd a flock of 1,500 merino sheep outside Flinders Street Station to mark 150 years of sheep in Melbourne, 1985

Description Tim Austin stands head and shoulders above the milling throng at Flinders Street Station yesterday. So he should: his reputation for breeding sheepdogs is internationally know. His team of kelpies herded this flock of 1,500 merinos, in orderly commuter fashion, to celebrate 150 years of sheep in Melbourne and the arrival of the Show next week.
