It is so disappointing that an image of the Milparinka Courthouse prior to its restoration in the 1980s has again been used as a promotion for Corner Country, with the caption along the lines of "restored by the community".

For those of you who know and love the buildings in Milparinka, and know the work of the community and its volunteers, I urge you to contact the publishers of the articles and ask that they please check their images carefully before publication.

Wild Dog Fence

Home History

Services available

Its the longest structure in the world, a single fence over more than 5000 kilometres in length.

Originally built in the 1890s to help control the enormous rabbit population which was devastating huge areas of inland and regional Australia, the Wild Dog Fence was converted to a dingo fence in 1914. It stretches from Nambour in the east to the Indian Ocean in the west.

There are several locations where the fence is visible to travellers; Cameron Corner, west of Tiboburra, Warri Gate to the north of Tibooburra, and at various locations south of the Hawker Gate Road. Driving adjacent to most sections of the fence is not possible.

Access roads are for Wild Dog Board staff only.
