GUARDIAN GATES

Double gates closing off a busy farm road carrying a lot of large, heavy traffic.

A little used farm gate.

  1. Interesting look at gates. This post will have me looking at gates around town. There are four gates to my garden. Only one is interesting.

    • The Urban Herd often make their way through the suburbs to munch on the grassy verges and browse on the trees. I have sometimes seen them demolishing gardens which are either un-fenced or where the gate has inadvertently been left open.

    • Thank you. We occasionally see herds of cattle being rounded up by a minder – usually a young man emerging from a municipal truck! Where they go to I am unsure, for they are mostly back where the were the following day.

    • Cattle grids have been a feature of country roads for decades. The only suburban one here that I am aware of used to be at the combined entrance of the (now defunct) golf course and the army base. The gate has since been removed, rendering the cattle grid useless. A drive through the farming areas in the Katberg yesterday illustrated the anomaly between the signposts warning of a cattle grid ahead and the reality that there too gates have been removed and the grids have been filled in.
