The Dingo Fence
In the 1920s, the Australian government began construction of the Dingo Fence in southern Australia because dingoes had become out of control. This fence was built in 1946 and remains in place today. Its mission is to keep dingoes contained and away from human-inhabited areas.

The landowners whose property borders the fence are reimbursed by the government for their efforts in maintaining the fence. The fence is designed to keep dingoes out of the farmlands in the northern part of the property and the northern part of the property.
Huge Sheep Industry
Sheep are Australia’s most common and popular livestock, with wool and sheepmeat being one of the country’s most profitable industries. In Australia, where the wide-open spaces lend themselves to sheep farming, there are 63.7 million sheep.

Agriculture workers must also be concerned about the various dangerous animals that inhabit Australia, including pythons and dingoes, both of which have been known to prey on sheep.
