The Dingo Fence
No stealing of 'baybehs' here - the Dog Fence stretches most of the country and keeps the dogs from the cattle. It is maintained everytwo weeks, incredibly. This part is on the Moon Plain just outside of Coober Pedy, where the black rocks cover the red dirt for endless miles. The rock looks like it is volcanic but it has not been explain what it is - they believe it is leftover from the end of the Ice Age, dragged over from elsewhere. It's so heavy to pick up that it can't be volcanic. The Moon Plain looks like you're on Mars - so red, so remote, so strange. Saw this on the first few km's of the Mail Run. I should note also one of the classic Stern faces - this one's courtesy of the outback's incessant flies that attack the face.I can hear Edd pissing himself.
