In his book The Longest Fence in the World, Broomhall says: “The duties of the patrolman... were to keep the Fence and the track running alongside it in repair..., to cut scrub and timber to the required width on both sides of the Fence [and] to keep gates, which were situated roughly every 20 miles [32 kilometers] along the Fence, in good order and to empty the trap yards [of rabbits]. ”
Dalam bukunya, The Longest Fence in the World, Broomhall berkata, ” Tugas seorang peronda... adalah menjaga Pagar dan lintasan di sepanjang sisinya dalam kondisi baik..., memotong semak belukar dan kayu hingga lebar yang ditentukan di kedua sisi Pagar [dan] menjaga gerbang, yang terletak setiap kurang lebih 32 kilometer di sepanjang Pagar, dalam kondisi baik serta mengosongkan perangkap [dari kelinci]. ”
