At 5600 kilometres, the Australian dog fence is the longest barrier ever built.

An extraordinary book about travel, history and a very lonely environment.

Description
At 5400 kilometres, The Dog Fence is one of the longest man-made structures on Earth. It slices across Australia's desert heart, dividing the continent to keep dingoes away from livestock.
Bestselling author James Woodford embarks on a journey to follow its length, travelling some of the loneliest and harshest country in the world. He begins on a clifftop overlooking the Great Australian Bight and ends in the foothills of Queensland's Bunya Mountains.
An enthralling story about the hazards of travel, the lessons of history, and the resilience of the people on the land.
