The Dingo Fence
This is a section near Coober Pedy in South Australia. The old grey coloured posts are original ones from when it was first constructed in the 1880s.
The Dingo Fence or Dog Fence is a pest-exclusion fence in Australia to keep dingoes out of the relatively fertile south-east part of the continent (where they have largely been exterminated) and protect the sheep flocks of southern Queensland. It is one of the longest structures in the world. It stretches 5,614 kilometres (3,488 mi).
It has been partly successful, though dingoes can still be found in parts of the southern states.
