A lost sheep was shepherded to safety by emergency services in Mount Cottrell on the night of Sunday, March 23.
The ewe fell about two metres down an open manhole at the intersection of Sewells and Leakes roads shortly after 5pm.
After her bleats were heard, Wyndham council rounded up the likes of local police, Fire Rescue Victoria and State Emergency Service workers to come up with a rescue plan.
Dubbed Shaun by its rescuers, the emergency workers created a make-shift sling and managed to lift her from the pit to safety.
It’s not known where ‘Shaun’ came from but she’s now in the hands of the council ranger to return it to her flock.
