Doug you are right on.

Alfred Wernam Canning

In 1901 a royal commission resulted in Canning being commissioned to survey a route for a barrier fence across the State. Construction of the fence, known as theNo. 1 Rabbit Proof Fencewas completed in 1907. When completed it was the longest line of unbroken fence in the world.

Canning is best known for surveying a stockroute (the Canning Stockroute) for bringing cattle 1500km overland from theKimberleydistrict to the goldfields in 1906 and 1907. He returned the following year to commence construction of 51 wells which were set one days march (20km) apart to feed travelling livestock. The route was completed in 1910 and runs from Halls CreektoWiluna.

Buggered if I know but if I killed one I may have cut it up and put some in my invention.
