The last goat on Cape Byron, Byron Bay, N.S.W, Australia |
Cape Byron |
"The last remaining goat on Cape Byron has evaded capture after a daring bid to rescue it from the bottom of a cliff.
Known
as Wategoat, the female goat had been trapped at the base of the cliff
near Byron's famous Wategos beach, in northern New South Wales, for
several days with little food and water. This morning the RSPCA's animal rescue squad started abseiling down the cliff to save Wategoat, when she made her escape.
Byron Bay resident Elaine Reed says the goat has other plans in mind."

Wategoat has already been on the run for eight years since rangers rounded up the rest of the herd that once roamed free across the cliff at Cape Byron."

Hey! Andy Scott! This is the very same sculptor I mentioned in my recent visit to Leeds... http://theukuleleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/a-taste-of-leeds.html
ReplyDelete"Developer Land Securities commissioned Andy to create two major artworks for their prestigious new Trinity Leeds project, the largest retail development in Europe.
“Equus Altus” is a 5 metre high two-tonne pack horse, mounted atop a ten metre high 300mm square steel column.
It observes the hubbub of modern commerce from its lofty position, loaded with a pack of wool commemorating the industry upon which the city of Leeds was founded."

ReplyDeleteI've never seen it there,although I haven't been up to the lighthouse for about 2 years,so this sculpture was news to me.
I only saw these photos
(and pinched them.-) from the Wiki page about Cape Byron.
I'll be going down there in a fortnight,so I'll go for a walk if the weather is fine on the day and take a look for myself.
I wonder if Andy has done any goat sculptures ?-)
