Cameron Corner And The Wild Dog Fence

At the intersection of the South Australian border with the New South Wales-Queensland border lies Cameron Corner, named after the New South Wales Lands Department Surveyor, John Brewer Cameron who surveyed this area in 1880.

At this junction travellers get to view the world's longest fence, the Wild Dog Fence, at a total distance of 5614 kilometres from Jimbour in Queensland to the Great Australian Bight in South Australia. Gates in the Wild Dog allow visitors to the region to pass into adjoining states.

Originally built to keep rabbits out of South Australia, the fence is now maintained to prevent dingoes entering sheep grazing areas. Staff residing in cottages a various points along the border repair holes in the two metre high netting, or clear sand which builds up along the base.
