How does an adult goat get two fire trucks and a digger to come to its aid?
The answer is simple: it crawls into a large stormwater drainpipe, gets stuck and then bleats incessantly.
This happened on Sunday night in Blue Downs when a goat was rescued after being stuck in a tight spot for at least five hours.
The goat is believed to have strayed from a herd that grazes on an open field next to the road.
Lamees Martin, spokeswoman for the SPCA said the goat was taken to the Grassy Park SPCA where it will be examined by a vet.
Martin confirmed today that Carol Anne is male.
She said the goat would stay with the SPCA for the next few days. The SPCA will wait for its owner to come forward, failing which Carol Anne will be put up for adoption if it passes the medical examination.
