Members of the Dryandra branch of Women In Farming Enterprises (WIFE) spent a day in Perth last week to see what happens to their wool once it leaves their farms. Primaries of WA is a sponsor of the Dryandra and other WIFE branches and organised the tour of its wool stores and show floor in Bibra Lake and of the nearby Australian Wool Testing Authority laboratories and the Western Wool Centre to see wool being auctioned. Pictured are Carrie Ditchburn (left), Primaries of WA, Eliza Dowling, Popanyinning, Tamara Alexandra, Narrogin, Sarah Wiese, Narrogin, Glen Mackie, Williams, Christine Martin, Williams and Simone Lansdell, Popanyinning, with Primaries wool auctioneer Terry Winfield (centre).
