Darling Downs–Moreton Rabbit Board fence

The Darling Downs–Moreton Rabbit Board fence is a pest-exclusion fence constructed between 1893 and 1997 to keep rabbits out of farming areas in Queensland, Australia.

[1] In 1893, a rabbit-proof fence was commenced in Queensland.

[2] In 1997, a final segment was built connecting it to the Dingo Fence.

It extends from Mount Gipps (near Rathdowney) to Goombi between Chinchilla and Miles.

[2] As of 2010[update] the fence was being actively patrolled and upgraded along approximately 530 kilometres (330 mi) of the border with New South Wales, extending from the Lamington Plateau near the eastern coast inland to Cottonvale.
