Rabbit Proof Fence
Burracoppin is the start of the rabbit proof fence which stretches for 3,256km. The fence was erested in 1901 to keep rabbits from destroying Western Australian agriculture.
Rabbits were imported as part of the First Fleet. They were released into the wild 1859 in the Eastern States. By 1894 they had multiplied and crossed the Nullabor Plain. The Rabbit Proof Fence was Western Australia's solution to the problem.
