They appear to have gotten thru the fence from the nearby leasehold again.

Thanks Avery - I passed this sighting onto the local PCS ranger who said
"We did find a hole in the fence on Wednesday and fixed it on Thursday"

Have the sheep moved back to the farm or still roaming nature reserve?

Haven't been down there today, more than 1/2 hr away. Also the cnpn@act.gov.au didn't work, was returned as undeliverable.

The pic was taken at 3:08, so if the work was done before then and there has been no roundup, they're still out there.
