Gus is an 8 year old working kelpie. In January during the fires on a Sunday, Gus was helping to move a mob of sheep past the shearing shed. The mob looked like it was going to break on the left, so Gus headed around the mob to control the break.

Gus was moving at such speed that he slid up the entire length of the prong until he reached the hay fork frame.
