Geese at Pullenvale

This is another of the reasons that I enjoyed my day at Pullenvale. GEESE!

I remember Joy's geese at Slacks Creek. Arthur and Martha - mean mean birds. Then there was the gaggle of seriously viscious geese that guarded the Paxton Chicken Abattoirs. Mum would send us with a message to give to Dad when he worked there, or we would walk through the bush to walk home with him. The geese would not let us out of the bush across the clearing to get to the buildings. We had to yell out for someone to come and get us. Mostly we took the dogs for protection but even 'Big Judy' the bravest dog in the world would not tackle those geese.

Surprisingly calm
Gorgeous setting
Such lucky geese

There were 2 more geese at Coomera for a time. I remember them being mean also. When we went to visit they would not let my dog Leroy off the patio. Only Charlie brown the cat seemed to get on with them - from a distance!
