It is hard to imagine a fence running for over 5 thousand kilometers across the large part of the Australian continent. Initially, in 1880, was build to protect the southern part of the land from rabbits. In 1900 the fence has been upgraded to provide the barrier against dingos. The fence is still kept maintained and functional. These wooden poles are made from ironwood tree, the hardest wood in the world.
That part of the fence can be seen near Coober Pedy, in South Australia.
it must be something to see it and it's amazing that they keep it in such good condition as that is a huge task. I always think of the movie when anyone mentions this fence, it struck my heart so deeply
It proved once again to me that looking at a picture without reading the narrative makes an uninformed comment.
It's amazing the length of fence and well the upkeep, but it's all for a good course.
