Sir Kev & Darkie
Does anyone know if you are able to travel along the
dingo fence in Queensland. I have tried to find it on the web but haven't found anything relevant.
Part of the
Dingo fence is about 30km to the north of
Chinchilla and I wouldn't mind driving a section of it.
Cheers Kev

Kev,
We traveled close to the fence a year or two ago from SA up to
Cameron Corner. In NSW it was an offence (pun intended) to drive the fence as posted above for the saftey of fence workers. Also had some pretty harch penalties attached, like forfeiture of vehicle etc.
I know this is in NSW and does not help you much, just be sure before you have a go.
Let us know as I would like to do the same drive.
Cameron.

Cameron,
When we stopped at the fence crossing yesterday, I don't recall seeing any
sign saying we couldn't but have read here and elsewhere that it is forbidden.
I'll contact the
Roma Depot this week and find out.
Cheers Kev

Well a week has past and today we drove a section of the
Dingo Fence.
We started at the very sart of the
Dingo Fence between Jimbour and Jandawae. We followed the Tourist track as per
This info brochure.
Whe I get around to it I will do up some trip notes as this map is a bit difficult to navigate. I had a few internal Council maps with me to assist ;)
In most
places I drove within arms reach of the fence with the actual road about 60m away in most cases. Where the road deviates a fair distance from the fence via other roads etc we followed the roads so we could keep the kids interested in spotting all the signs throughout the trip.
Cheers Kev
