2.4.1 Fences


Location of Example:	25^o17'49" South, 152^o38'43" East
Distinctive Characteristics:	Fences tend to be depicted as narrower features than roads. They generally form polygonal shapes, outlining paddocks and properties. They also tend to cut across properties unlike roads. The fences stand out as a narrower band of lighter blue as opposed to the thicker darker signature of the roads. Fences generally enclose property boundaries or internal paddocks but do not provide connectivity or access to the farm infrastructure, i.e. Homesteads, Buildings, Water Tanks, etc.
Regional Considerations:
