I never knew about the Dingo Fence but it sure seems to be the longest fence in the world!
I don't know what's worse, being overrun by rabbits, or dingos, kangaroos, or camels?
While the dingo fence was built to protect sheep, "...It has also been suggested that the larger kangaroo populations inside the fence have been caused by the lack of dingo predation, and competition for food leads to lower sheep stocking rates than would be possible without the fence...Today, the rate at which feral camel are smashing down sections of the fence are fast increasing in Southern Australia. Plans for restructuring the Dog fence to be taller and electric are under process..."
Strange, interesting place you got there, Zooks. I would like to check it out soon.
