Fence Of Footwear

It’s certainly not what you expect to see when driving through the back roads of the eastern Wheatbelt in WA.
 
But stretching over more than a kilometre on the road between Narembeen and Mt Walker is a fence full of boots and shoes — more than 1000 of them, go figure! Looks like littering on a kick-arse scale!
 
WA’s “boot mile” is solely for fun. The original idea is that when a comrade passes away, a cowboy may hang a boot on a fence post as a memorial.
The boots have worn out and represent hard work. A cowboy is the original criminal gang member, did you know that?
