Last year’s visit to Jamberoo Abbey took place in mid-winter. I was up bright and early the first morning to watch the sun rise.

The cattle were in the paddock closest to the cottages, which was a bonus to the photographer.

They looked to be mainly black Anguses, and were busy breakfasting…

When an interloper appeared out of the bush.

The bovines weren’t quite sure of the wombat.

And neither was the wombat completely comfortable to be so exposed. After a few nibbles of grass it wandered back to safety.
