The Dog Fence When you think about the world's longest manmade structures, China and Great Britain (Stonehenge) spring to mind. Very rarely does the Australian continent get a mention, which is a shame, because the Dog Fence, or Dingo Fence, is the longest structures on earth. The Dingo Fence is a barrier that was built in Australia during the 1880s and finished in 1885.This fence was built only on one purpose: to stop dingoes (Australia’s wild dogs) from killing sheep. It is one of the longest structures on the planet, and the world's longest fence. it’s 3,307 miles long. That makes about 5,320 km.

At the time, it was the longest man-made structure in the world. It was ...
Simpsoni kõrb asub Austraalia mandril, 20-30 põhjalaiusel ja 130-140 idapikkusel. Simpsoni kõrb on põhiliselt liivakõrb, leidub ka takõrri. Kõrb ei le koguage ühesugune muutusi on märgata oea iga saja kilomeetri tagant. Punasel liival kasvavad üksikud puud, poolpõõsad. Liivaluidete vahelt paistavad ka kuivanud soola järved. Suurim soolajärv Simpsoni kõrbes on Eyre soolajärv. Kõrbete põhiloomad keda näha võib on näiteks kaamel, dingo,känguru,bilby ja reptiles. Kasvatavad kariloomad on veised, lambad ja kaamlid. Austraaliasse on peaaegu kõik liigid sisse toodud igalt poolt välis riikidest. Seal toimus aga paljunemine nii kiiresti et tekkis pidevalt uusi liike. Seega on Austraalia väga liigirikas. Põhilised loomad on kukkurloomad nagu näiteks känguru ja bilby. Samuti võib kõrbes ringi jooksmas näha emusid. Coober Pedy on väike asula keset kõrbe, asub üsna soolajärvede läheduses. Seal piirkonnas on sademed peaaegu et...
