Trio of sheep found alive in Victoria eight years after truck rollover
A trio of sheep has been found in the bush in Victoria eight years after reportedly surviving a truck rollover.
The three amigos, affectionately named after Ned Kelly, Mad Dan Morgan and Harry Power, have been on the run for almost a decade in the Wombat State Forest in Daylesford.
After many sightings from the public, the team at Edgars Mission Animal Sanctuary was able to pluck them out one at a time, before they were finally reunited again a month later.

The first two to be rescued were Harry and Ned who arrived at the sanctuary a month ago.
This week Edgars Mission was able to retrieve Dan.
"It was bittersweet knowing there was still one out there and I couldn't rest until Monday evening when he was caught," Edgar's Mission owner Pam Ahern told 9News.
"When the sheep reunited for the first time, they clearly knew one another.
"After a month apart, it was like, 'Hey dude, what took you so long?'"

During their time in the bush, it's believed they had plenty of access to grass and water so there's no sign of malnutrition.
Mad Dan Morgan will need a tidy-up with regards to his wooly coat, with a visit from a shearer not too far away.
