South Australian police have ended a standoff of a different kind – coaxing a pet goat named Sandra down from the roof of a Port Augusta home.

Officers were called to the Crichton Drive residence on Saturday afternoon after Sandra - who "was taking the species' reputation for climbing to heart" - became stuck, according to a police statement.
Initial attempts to lure the adventurous goat back to earth using no less than two different species of grass fell flat.
After several tense minutes, a make shift ramp and a lasso crafted from an old clothes line, Sandra came down to cheers from police "ne-goat-iators".
"The life of a country copper is never dull," the statement read.
