By (0)
March 15 (UPI) A bull escaped from a trailer while being transported in Australia and blocked traffic on a bridge before being escorted to a nearby show ground.
Witnesses said the bull was spotted wandering loose in the road outside of Murray Bridge, South Australia, about 9:30 a.m. Monday, after apparently forcing its way out of a trailer.

The men working to transport the bull from Naracoorte to Alice Springs were seen chasing after the animal and attempting to keep it from wandering into town.
The bull ended up blocking traffic on a nearby bridge before the men were able to escort it across the bridge and to the nearby Murray Bridge Showground, about 2 miles away, where campers watched them work for another hour to safely capture the animal.
Actor David Gulpilil s life and work is being celebrated in a new documentary

Plenty are sampled in My Name Is Gulpilil, which oscillates between present and past, drawing on portrayals plucked from the actorâs rich oeuvre to illustrate different parts of his life and character â
his story, this time, not someone elseâs. Moments from his films (so smoothly integrated by editor Tania M. Nehme) feature like personal footprints, snapshots of a life impressed on to celluloid.
The film plays out in the spirit of a living wake, celebrating its subject while contemplating the inevitable. One Buñuelian shot captures the actor from above, lying with his eyes closed in a coffin with red lining, his body covered in old film reels. They flow out of it, as if they are a natural part of the man himself.

âI donât pretend,â Gulpilil says of his performances. âI donât have to go and act. I just jump in and stand there and the camera sees me.â
But with fame came alcohol, drugs, a jail term for assaulting his partner, homelessness in the Darwin long grass and falling out for a time with his community in Ramingining. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017, he was given six months to live.
But, fragile at 67, Gulpilil made it first to a reception at Government House then to the premiere, hosted by the Adelaide Film Festival, attended by 1500 people at Festival Theatre.
