AUSSIE SHEEP. EARLY ERROR CORRECTED.
First sheep reached Australia with Captain Phillip at the Cape of Good Hope in 1788. Native Cape sheep were fat tailed and less suited to settlement, most dying. Indians later sent a small flock, later crossbred with Ireland stock. Henry B. Smith notes India sheep were small with dark fleeces, warning Australia might not have become a top wool country otherwise.
