The Dog Fence: The World's Longest Fence

Here is another unusual eyecatcher in the desert that we just had to photograph after our stop at William Creek. The Dog Fence extends from Surfers Paradise's surroundings in Queensland to the coast of South Australia. Extending for over 5,000 kilometers, it is one of the longest structures in the world and the world's longest fence. It is intended to protect flocks of sheep on the southern side of the fence from being attacked by dingoes, the wild dogs of Australia from the north. For more information, the Wikipedia page dedicated to the fence is quite comprehensive.
