This publication, has a turbulent history.  It was originally produced by the Australian Wool Corporation, moved to Wool International and then to AWEX, the last ceasing production in 2001. Fortunately it is now being maintained by Australian Wool Innovation. The document is an invaluable aid to anyone wishing to understand the costs within the wool production and distribution pipeline.
