Capra Wessalia
Goats are very important on Tamba- Tamba.
do Tristao mentioned herds of wild goats in his account of the island.
Wessel's islanders had kept domesticated goats for centuries before the arrival of the Dutch.
Several goats were taken from Wessel's on board the Dreadful, and the majority of the domesticated goats on Tamba-Tamba are descended from this stock.
No cow has ever set foot on the island, and goats have provided generations of islanders with milk, cheese and meat.
Even in the downtown Palmerston you will see goats grazing in vacant lots.
