The
Dog Fence stretches through the remote, isolated country of the Australian outback. It divides the cattle grazing districts on the northern side from sheep grazing districts on the southern side. The
dog fence assails rough, inhospitable terrane, and pervades rare
views of the South Australian landscape including the
Great Australian Bight and
Lake Frome. It borders the grazing properties into New South Wales where it takes in the Paroo River, then it goes north and east across Queensland to the
Darling Downs. The
Dog Fence is maintained today, to keep the
dingo, Australia’s wild native dog, from killing grazing animals, mainly sheep.
This
gate and the nearby Wynbrin Rocks fall into the current Mulgathing Station Lease.
