Elephant.

In about 1972, 45 years agoour family were awakened in the morning to the noises of an elephant tearing branches and leaves off trees and it was eating the long grass in the lane between our house and the neighbours in  Seymour Street. We could view this elephant from our backyard.my mother father and sister all came out the back to witness the elephant in the lane with the keeper, using a stick trying to urge it backwards up the lane to the circus in the middle of Centennial Park Bathurst.Evidently in the elephant had a chain on one of its legs that had a peg attached and the elephant had pulled the peg out of the ground to gain its freedom to visit our place.
