A bit more on what Cuppa said, it that any bird that eats seeds needs water, so if your stuck in the desert and see seed eating birds
the parrot family is a good example, chances are water is nearby.
Pic 2 more fence palings

Pic 2
Fence around Beverley Uranium Mine near Arkaroola in SA, Taken in 2007.
Its a tall cyclone fence with triple strand barbed wire but if you look in the distance it changes to an old farmers style fence.
entry 2: a fence we went past on our way to camp last weekend

Nice one Mega........ good to see someone is out & about with their camera & thinking of fences!
Everyone else you still have a couple of weekends to take the opportunity to get a pic or two of a fence or fences somewhere. Grab your camera, phone, or whatever, stick it it in your glovebox & see what you can capture whilst out having a bit of fun.

Here's my effort,
Taken a while back near home.
It is of an old shearing shed near Wullwye on the Monaro, luckily it just happens to have a fence in the shot.

Thought I would add another shot,
This was taken early morning at a property called Nungatta in the heart of the SE forest between Bombala and Eden(south of the Imlay Road).

A day trip to Sofala with a good mate of mine who unfortunately sold his GQ patrol :(

Attachment 35805
The property at Little Hartley looks like a nice place.
That it is Cuppa, only just found out they actually don't own it anymore, they sold the house and the 100 acres they lived on a few years ago but the new owners only use the land for cattle and the new owners have allowed them 2 stay there indefinitely, I haven't been out there for a long while but when the fires die down I will have 2 take a trip out thereQuote:

The result of a wet winter, and high winds.
Voting is now closed for the October comp.
Thank you to everyone who posted an entry & everyone who participated by voting.
I hope you all enjoyed seeing the many great photos of fences.
I have now tallied up the votes and can announce this months winners.
In first place is ...... with 24 votes for ‘Birdfence’ is .....me (how embarrassment)
In second place ...... with 18 votes for ‘Gulf country fencing contractor’ is ...... GUtsy Ute
In third place with ....with 17 votes for Lake Ballard salt lake fence is ........ me again.
Thank you to everyone who voted for ‘Birdfence’. It was a shot which took many attempts to capture as the Zebra Finches would fly off as I got close, but I eventually got them by taking up position & sitting still in full 40 degree sun for what seemed ages until they all returned.
Congratulations to GUtsy Ute for his 2nd place with his great nostalgic shot of outback life.
Truth be told all entries were winners, but special mention too for Megatexture’s ‘Dingo Fence’, & Fracsters late jumping deer shot. Both were well appreciated. Well done everyone.
I will now consult with this months winner & solicit a new topic for our November comp. ;)
No need to be embarrassed, was a top shot.
Congrats
x2, It's a great shot and a worthy winner.Quote:
