Men work at Tizzana Winery and shale oil mine

Many men in the Sackville region are working at the Tizzana Winery. Others, including Billy Lynch, work at the newly opened shale oil mine at Nellie’s Glen, near Katoomba. Billy Lynch writes, “I don’t know, but I suppose that the time for my people to be replaced by another has come, and so all the animals, and the fruits, and birds they depended on vanished. It is not the shooting. There is not enough of that to account for it. It is just that their time has come too.”
