A local woman has expressed concern for the lonely goat which lives on one of the islands in the middle of Lake Jerilderie.
Since the demise of two other goats for various reasons, this one has been on her own, apart from the odd bird or two nesting or resting on the island and ski boats whizzing past in the summer.
As goats are herd animals, it has been suggested that she would probably appreciate a friend to keep her company. Any thoughts?
Our goat was recently seen being harassed by a nesting plover, who was getting a bit ‘shirty’ with said goat for being in its space.
