A menu for a Flinders Range goat

Tweet

There are some very clever notices in the Flinders Ranges area of South Australia which are aimed at educating people about the environment there. Feral goats are a major problem and we saw quite a few just in our few days there. As the notice says, conditions are ideal for the goats and certainly the ones we saw looked very contented. Although the kids are very cute, goats compete with native animals for water and feed. The endangered yellow-footed rock-wallabies have been impacted severely since the introduction of goats into their areas. The Kapra’s Kitchen menu on the left of the poster is cleverly done. For instance the Mains are listed as: • Aged Acacia in a tannin wrap • Eremophila with shavings of Native Pine • Tender growing tips of Bullock Bush • Glazed chewy Hopbush • Sweet Bursaria with Nut Grass • Saltbush on a bed of Mulga Flowers There were several posters of this type and I thought they were a great way of educating the public.
