A lost sheep has been shepherded to safety following a group effort by emergency services in Mount Cottrell last night.
The ewe found itself feeling rather sheepish after falling about 2 metres down an open manhole at the intersection of Sewells and Leakes roads shortly after 5pm.
It's bleats for help were finally heard, with the Wyndham City Council rounding up the likes of local police, FRV and State Emergency Service workers to come up with a plan.
Dubbed Shaun by its rescuers, the emergency workers created a make-shift sling and managed to lift the beast from the pit to safety.
It's not known where Shaun came from but it's now in the hands of the council ranger to return it to its flock.
