The Dog or Dingo Fence HFF

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

A great capture of this fence and gate here Diana. I wonder if Mr Trump got some of his idea's from this? I would have thought that dog-like animals would be canny enough to dig underneath or find a way through though. Nice job for the boys!

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

Hi Diana

Great composition, and great information too!
Lets see, 5,600 Km and 23 people, so 244 Km each to cover. Say they check 50Km a day, so they visit their entire length every week.. That's a lot if work!!!!!

What I see as more impressive is they built the whole lot in 5 years without all the heavy construction equipment we have today.. perhaps a lesson for Mr Trump here!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
