Fencing planned to protect sacred sites from camels

Work has begun to protect sacred sites from the huge number of marauding camels in central Australia.

Some cattle producers have reported up to 2,000 animals on their land which are damaging fences and infrastructure.

Greening Australia spokesman Peter Barker says special fences have been designed to keep camels away from sacred sites like water rock holes.

"Some of these isolated holes, people only get out there for special business and it's difficult for them to maintain these if they are electric for that long," he said.

"[We are] coming up with a type of fence, effectively a 100 mill pipe, three of four strands of eight mill cable between them, cemented in every four metres. Sufficiently strong to keep out camels from these sites."
