The book is from Australia but will interest anyone involved in the building of fences worldwide in that Australia is known as a source of innovative ideas in fencing for both rural and suburban uses. The short history of fencing in Australia shows, for example, the ideas applied by Australian settlers some hundred or more years after the same problems were faced in the USA. Readers in the US will find some very different answers.
Similarly, while dry stone walling is very much a historic British way of dividing land, it also became common in parts of Australia in the 1800s and has seen a remarkable revival which is detailed in this book.
