The story of the construction of the fence, and the ultimate futility of it, at least for rabbits, is very interesting. So is the story of your friend.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-39925208827357604152011-12-04T05:06:36.904-07:002011-12-04T05:06:36.904-07:00A true story too. Two of them are still alive. One...A true story too. Two of them are still alive. One was recaptured, she died a while back, aged 86, I think.<br /><br />I'd recomment this essay: http://www.thingsmagazine.net/text/t14/rabbits.htm<br /><br />Back in the early nineties, a friend of mine Gaynor, decided to visit Australia and explore. She bought a Land-Rover, a stage-one V8 station wagon, had it expedition-prepared, with long range fuel and water tanks, axle-and diff- guards, all the toys, and shipped it out to australia. Every month or so she'd send a long letter with drawings and photographs, stories of her travels and adventures. Damn, I was so jealous.<br />She wrote of following the rabbit-proof-fence for days in dust storms, and knowing that she'd find a water supply along there.<br />I wish I still had the letters. <br /><br />Ah well. Wonder what she's doing these days?soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.com
