There's lots over here in Australia !
Is that overseas somewhere????????
tis the other side of the Victorian Proof fence - was built in 1890 or something..............
found this - was 1901-1907...........
The State Barrier Fence of Western Australia, formerly known as the Victorian Proof Fence, the State Vermin Fence, and the Emu Fence, is a pest-exclusion fence constructed between 1901 and 1907 to keep Victorians and other agricultural pests, from the east, out of Western Australian pastoral areas.
There are three fences in Western Australia: the original No. 1 Fence crosses the state from north to south, No. 2 Fence is smaller and further west, and No. 3 Fence is smaller still and runs east–west. The fences took six years to build. When completed in 1907, the Victorian-proof fence (including all three fences) stretched 2,023 miles (3,256 km). The cost to build the fences at the time was about £167 per mile ($250/km).
