“The Dingo Fence stretches nearly sic thousand kilometres across Australia – from the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight in the west to a paddock gate near Jimbour in Queensland’s green southeast.  Parts of it were built at the turn of the century, but not until the 1940s was it linked into one continuous structure.  It separates semi-arid cattle country form sheep-raising areas and runs through some of out most inhospitable territory.  It skirts deserts and dry lake beds, crosses flood plains and mountain ranges; and connects some of this nations most beautiful landscape and some of its most interesting characters.”
