OK Mickey just for you, I went to hours of effort to create this map for you.

(actually I had it already prepared for a future post

Goats?

Goats are now a valuable commodity and we had permission to shoot them if we saw them (or a few anyway) but at $25 each.

We did see a mob on the paddock near the Barwon - about 30 or so.

It was funny when we met up with the farmer after the storm. He didn't know he had any where near as many pigs on the property as we were seeing (even though he told us about good shooting numbers), the goats and the cows in his crop. We thought he had let the cows in the paddock as there was little feed anywhere else and they had been cmaping there for weeks. But no, they weren't meant to be there.

On the way back we saw hundred and hundreds of goats along the roads near the Darling River area. Mob after mob feeding within eyesight (and shooting range) of the road. No good billies though. I am still to take a really good billy trophy for the wall even after shot a couple hundred billies at least but in an area not known for good heads. Don't even have a set on the walls at all. All my early ones I tossed onto a shed roof and they are still there.

This easy hunting country for goats used to produce good heads but many of them have probably been exported for meat in the last decade.
