[talk-au] Audible stock control fences - mapping

[Bob Cameron]

Thanks All

Have gone with barrier:fence fence_type:audio.

As an aside. When I was around Isisford Qld a few years ago there was a 
fairly big financial commitment going on replacing simple stock fences 
with dog ones. About 1.5-2m high of mesh construction that was also 
buried. As I recall it was horribly expensive, but one station owner had 
recouped his expense (sheep not attacked) after about 18 months. The 
audible/screamers sections on roads were very low cost in comparison.

Cheers
