It's part of John's (second) PhD - or at least he is researching aussie fences for his second PhD.

Man I hope that you were searching for "John Pickard" and stumbled upon that article, rather than the other way around...

Second PhD! I did think it was funny that he didn't have one.... but he does. Nice work, cool topic too. I did hope to see some stuff on kangaroo tail gates which I came across in Far Western Qld, but they seem to be another term for c--ky's gate, bogan gate, wire gate, etc.

Umm, was searching for work info on the NSW Heritage website. No, honest.

For those who are particularly curious, his first one was in the early 80's in Antarctic geomorphology. He even edited a book that is now a seminal piece.
