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]. ”
