The Dog or Dingo Fence HFF

The Dog Fence is over 5,600 km in length, stretching across the remote and arid lands of Australia from Queensland, far south to The Great Australian Bight. It was built in 1880-85 to protect the South Eastern sheep grazing lands from incursion by dingoes(wild native dogs). It has been mostly successful in keeping the dingoes out. 23 staff patrol the length of it to keep it in good repair.
Have a fantastic weekend, and thank you so much for your visits and comments...

What an immense achievement to be able to maintain that area in the projected conditions.
Hard to imagine it from our urban small, cramped, nervous and overpopulated towns of here.
You have there enough of a place to land your eyes and think…
Well seen and thank you Diana.

An excellent shot and a beautiful blue sky Diana. Imagine the work involved in erecting the fence originally and now in maintaining it. Looks like it is hot work too! HFF and have a great weekend
