SINCE 2011, for locals and visitors alike, a drive down Oxley Flats Road was never complete without checking which paddock Toby the camel was standing in.

But at the age of 28, Toby has sadly passed on.

Owner Steve Mickan has counted Toby part of the 'pack' which included a Scottish Highland cow named Ferguson and a Friesian named Declan.

Toby will be sorely missed by students from the Wangaratta District Specialist School and other disability groups, as well as the Wangaratta Wesleyan Methodist Church where he was a regular to their Christmas breakup.

If you have memories and/or photos of Toby you would like to share, please send them to edit.chronicle@nemedia.com.au or tag us on Facebook @WangarattaChronicle.
