Norfolk Island is full of cows. There are paddocks and paddocks full of them, and they are allowed to roam all around the roads as well. In fact they have right-of-way and cars have to give way to them. Milkshake had never met real cows before, so I took her out into the farmland to see some close up. Since they look awfully big and strange from ground level, if you are the size of Milky and I, it makes sense to gain a bit of height and get the proper perspective. So, it's up a fencepost. Now I'll say this for Milky, she climbs awfully well for a small cow, she even beat me to the top of this post. Of course, cows are almost as curious as cats, so before long we had lots of them coming up for a look at us. So close in fact that Mum grabbed us off the post and took us back into the car before one had a chance to see how we tasted.
