Heading to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia we stopped briefly at Wycheproof, a small regional town in the centre of the Shire of Buloke, in North Western Victoria. Mount Wycheproof is a mountain located in the town. Standing at 43 metres (141 ft) above the surrounding terrain, Mount Wycheproof has the distinction of being the smallest registered mountain in the world.
43 Kms further North West on the Calder Highway, near Culgoa is a historic marker for the dog proof fence (Click text to view in Google Maps) This marks the site of the dog netting fence which crossed the highway at this point. Part of the fence is included with the memorial. The fence stretched approximately 325 kilometres from Tyntynder on the Murray River to the South Australian border and was intended to prevent wild dogs and other vermin entering farmlands to the south.
