The launch of a crowdfunding campaign to save the Toganmain Woolshed Precinct was being driven by a group of dedicated enthusiasts from across New South Wales. The campaign, aptly named "Friends of Toganmain", aims to restore the woolshed and adjacent outbuildings to ensure that this magnificent structure is retained. This process of conservation will also create a significant cultural tourist attraction.
The Toganmain Woolshed Precinct is on Wiradjuri land, which for many thousands of years provided abundant resources to its traditional Aboriginal owners. Traditional land use, resource management and cultural practices are evident in scar trees near the woolshed. Spanning pre-contact lore to the resilience of subsequent generations up to the present, the enduring connection of the Wiradjuri people to Country is recognised.
