It was either 'Roo's or polar bears..
Probably stealing a carrier...
I don't think it was sheep,as I don't think they could drive carriers...
But it could be great fricken snakes..the kind I see once in a while when I'm drinking wine..
Am I close..??

Could it be your latest feral 12 Cab Ford that you mustered from the High Country, that bucked at being broken in and bolted thru the fence?

Should have called in the "Blitz Whisperer".

Euan, Emma was near by at the time of ths incient and I would have loved to have been there to see the look on her face

Aliens could have caused this to happen

Tony and Keith, it looked like a yellow brumby from the high country making an excape with two riders on board

Alex it was hairy animals

... hmm, probably the brakes on the Mexican Chev were "a little" bit too loose?? Or Marty McFly used your farmland as a launch ground?

My guess is you have a Ford or a Chamberlain tractor both of which have notoriously unreliable park brakes.

We'll share the prize money.

Now, Emma - what do you have to say for yourself, young lady? You have some explaining to do.

Max - are there any more pictures?

Default Apart from the starched U.S.flag being missing,

I was thinking it was the site of the real lunar landing.
Max , have you spent much time teaching those dogs to drive?

Hi Max and Emma,

Seeing the two dogs in the front seats, reminds me of the Toyota advert ( can't get the link to work, but look up "toyota bulls" on Youtube)

Is this anything near to what happened?

regards, Richard
