Talk:Dingo Fence

Visuals
I'd like to see photos of the fence in various locations. The article mentions lights in certain areas, powered during the day by solar cells. Are there any dusk / night photos of the phence available? Appears that there are ...

Kangaroo population etc

 * It has also been suggested that the large kangaroo populations in the south east have been caused by the fence, which have caused a larger problem due to eating grass and using up water than the dingos were

AFAIK the studies which looked at this kind of thing found the correlation was between distance to water holes, not to which side of the fence the populations were on? I didn't think the 6 foot fence hindered movement of kangaroos or emus very significantly.

(Water holes tended to increase the numbers of kangaroos and emus at the expense of smaller mammels which don't rely on open water to drink from. The suggestion was, to increase overall biodiversity, reduce the number of water holes so that the environment can only sustain smaller populations of kangaroos, emus, dogs, foxes and dingos) --Garrie 02:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The main reference for this pasture competition appears to be, an advertising allegory for a software company — hardly a reliable source! In fact most of the references in the article seem rather poor. The CSIRO reference doesn't seem to mention water, but I thought of it too when I read the discussion - do sheep (on the south side) need more regular water holes than cattle (on the north side)? The CSIRO page does say the land is similar both sides, because the north being more arid could also lead to that result.--Scott Davis Talk 13:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Crossing the Fence
I'd be interested to know how fence crossings work. Is there a cattle grid arrangement or a sterile zone? 194.72.35.70 13:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the main highway crossings use cattle grids, but the minor ones have gates. --Scott Davis Talk 13:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Added about that. Citations could be the photo linked on panoramio at the location, or even streetview itself; that's probably not up to puncey wikipedian standards though! ;P https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/14711333 https://maps.google.com/?ll=-31.524703,131.87336&spn=0.041923,0.187025&t=m&z=14&layer=c&cbll=-31.523333,131.881755&panoid=2ASRvUrjUAsmocxu7NL12Q&cbp=11,69.14029600000009,,0,11.766301999999998&photoid=po-14711333 122.105.130.158 (talk) 10:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

1885 or 1921 ?
According to the article on the dingo, the fence was erected in the 1920's. But here it says 1885. So, which is it ?76.113.25.252 (talk) 21:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Image of lights at night?
Hello. Please add images of this fence at night (of at the morning or at the evening) with the lights on. Thanks. Domsau2 (talk) 18:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Eastern end
Why doesn't the Queensland end of the fence extend to the coast? Jim Michael (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
