Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - Sailing Past Arapawa Island

You might have heard me before go on about our Arapawa Sheep... well tonight is no different and I'm sailing on the Interislander Ferry where we've just sailed past Arapawa Island.

One of the theories as to how the Arapawa Sheep came to know Arapawa Island as there home, was that Captain Jame Cook mentioned in his diaries that sheep, goats, pigs were left on the island in the Marlborough
Sounds as a future food source for sailers. 

Whatever the reason... they have been here for longer than most of us, and they have adapted to survive life on an island, so surely they are Kiwiest of sheep?
