I was walking down past the old woolshed this morning to turn on the water for the wildlife trough. The old woolshed had been hit by a strong wind a while back and some sheets of iron lie scattered about the place(no manpower to clean up). Anyways......as I picked my way through the debris I passed one of the pens in the shed and I saw this apparition. At first I thought it was a poddy it was that big, but there are no cattle here. On second glance this magnificent Euro sat up to take a look at me. Just sitting he was as tall as me and I'm 190cm tall. I think that he would measure taller than 210cm if he stood up on his tail.

I opened the tap and gave the big fella some space and he hopped out of the pen gracefully only a couple of metres away from me. Bloody hell, he was big. I reckon he could've weighed at least 100kilos. He hopped over to the trough some 50 metres away and proceeded to have a quiet drink. My mates Red Heeler was keen to give chase but on advice thought better of it ....lol

Today I saw 7 roos, 10 emus, 30 feral sheep and about 60 feral goats.

Cheers
