Shearer Emma Billett used to be the only female in the shearing shed, but now that's changing

Emma Billett is a 32 year old shearer from central west New South Wales. She never intended to be a shearer but found she loved the atmosphere and the physicality of working in the shearing shed on her family's farm near Nevertire. One day, a colleague asked if she wanted to give shearing a go and Emma has been shearing ever since.
Emma tells Skye about a time when there were no other women in the sheds, and how she's seen that change in recent years, a wonderful thing, she says.
