The Darling Downs Moreton Rabbit Board maintains 555 km of Rabbit-proof fence, which runs from Mt Gipps (near Rathdowney) to Goombi (between Chinchilla and Miles).
When rabbits first reached Queensland in the 1880s from the southern states, a fence was quickly constructed along the border in an attempt to keep them out. Some rabbits had already invaded some districts before the fence was complete.
Some of the invaded rabbit fence district boards had inadequate financial and technical resources to cope with the problem and went bankrupt. Many other sections of the fence fell into disrepair and ceased being a barrier to rabbits. In 1930, all existing rabbit boards were abolished except three—the Leichhardt, Darling Downs and Moreton.
In 1963, the Leichhardt Rabbit Board closed and the Darling Downs Rabbit Board took over 80 km of the fence, extending it west of Chinchilla. The following year, the Darling Downs Rabbit Board and the Moreton Rabbit Board merged and became the Darling Downs-Moreton Rabbit Board (DDMRB). The fence is now 555 km long and stretches from Lamington National Park in the east, to Goombi in the south-west where it connects to the Wild Dog Barrier Fence. It protects about 28 000 km² within southern Queensland.
The DDMRB Fence provides a unique form of protection against the incursion of rabbits, and has successfully prevented the establishment of rabbits within its boundaries. To find out monre about rabbits, click on the above bunny picture, or goto www.ddmrb.org.au/About_Rabbits.htm
No real parking area, but you can to pull off the highway at S28 20.272 E152 42.128, onto a track. Suggest you park here and walk the 40m up the left track to the gates (locked) and then follow the fence along til near GZ. There is no need to go through any gates or fences.
You will notice there are 2 fences, why? The standard barbed wire fence is a property boundary(cattle) the second fence is the rabbit fence (obviously, it is the one with the small mesh!!) If you miss the track heading south, the safest place to turn around is just down the road near the border gates.
