Mr SECKER (1:52 PM) —I had the pleasure yesterday of launching a book about the Corriedale breed. The book was called A sheep for all seasons. Interestingly enough, the launch was at Coola Station, just out of Mount Gambier in my electorate. I was very pleased to launch this book by Andrew Nicholson, who is a long-term breeder of Corriedales in Australia. In fact, my family has been breeding Corriedales for 70 years.

The pleasing part about it is that the Corriedale breed is still going 130 years after it began and is now the second largest breed worldwide. It has obviously been a very good breed of sheep that has suited many conditions over the world. It was with great pleasure that yesterday I launched this book about the Corriedale breed, its history and many of the characters involved in it. About 120 people connected with the Corriedale breed were mentioned in this book. It certainly has been a great pleasure for me and my family to be involved in the history of a great sheep breed that originated here in Australia.
