For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I was on Flinders Island (40 S, 148 E)doing a variety of jobs. Since I get a lot of enjoyment out of looking at others work photos, I thought I'd put some of mine up.
One job was up at Boat Harbour (39.855 S, 147.783 E) checking track locations to see if they were constructed where they should have been.
Boat Harbour Beach
View from near client's house. Spectacular even when its raining.
Track that is mostly in the correct spot.
Another job was on the foreshore at Whitemark (40.125 S, 148.015 E)
Average 30 knots, gusting 40 knots of wind make it interesting to hold the pole steady!
Then we were down at Ranga (40.188 S, 148.121 E) for a subdivision job.
This is the type of fences we have to deal with. No massive ladders or long drives or avoiding gun toting owners here. 😀 
Finally, yours truly in a Ti Tree forest. Because of the rain the previous days a lot of it was underwater by about 50mm. We found an old star picket survey mark at that point. I never actually saw it but the precalculated coordinate got me to within 400mm, the metal locator found it and then I exposed enough of it under the murky water with the spade to feel that it was still vertical. Its likely that no one had been near it since 1957 when it was placed.
Beautiful. You hiring? 😀

That does look like an electrified fence, though, which you do get extra points for climbing over. :> Very nice pics.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics.
'Track that is mostly in the correct spot.'
Seeing the wide open space there, how much was it the road off in the not so corrct spot? Do we speek about some meters or is it a little more?
Christof.
beautiful and uncrowded! just the way i like it.
Hi Seb
Nice pics of the southern summer. In your fence picture that looks like a typical Scottish 'wire' gate between the fields (minimum material and cost!). I wonder if the original emigrants brought that idea with them?
Missed an opportunity
I'm surprised at you, Kent. You missed a perfectly good opportunity to sternly lecture Seb on photo composition.
For the record, Seb, those are great pictures.

Thanks. They were all quick happy snaps taken with my phone.
Sometimes the phone does come through with acceptable results.
Up to 20 metres in some points.
It is up to the client now if he wants to move portions of the track. Regardless of where it is he still has legal access to his land and the land that the track crosses is owned by a friendly neighbour that crosses the clients land to access the beach.
I don't think they will bother to move it.
We call that a "cocky's gate" where a "cocky" is a slang term for a farmer.
See the relevant section on this link.

Some of them are easy to open but some farmers deliberately make them very hard to discourage access.
Very common gate here in Belgium too.

Very cool pictures! It's a treat to catch a glimpse of things 'down under'. A brilliant contrast to the dark and cold of Alaska this time of year.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Very common in the states also. As a matter of fact, I have made several of them on our farm back in the day. Haven't done any fencing in the last 15 years. I used to go around all of our fences in the spring time repairing them after the winter. Usually during morel season.
My younger brother does it now so I have to morel hunt the week before.... 
Portagee Gate?
Is that what I'm seeing.
Looks like it.
Those things can be easy or they can be very hard, depending on your strength or determination.
You always got to close 'em, though.
Sometimes it took two of us.
Don
Thanks man.
Around here they call that a Portagee gate. I think this is because the Portuguese that immigrated here constructed them that way. They can be easily constructed poorly. However if done properly, they are really slick.
That is a "Wire Gate"
Plain and simple. Never heard one of them ever called anything else. Well, except for the ones that are built so tightly that it takes three men and a boy to close one. I've built several of them myself over the decades. Cheap, yet effective.
That is a "Wire Gate"
For the most part around here its just a gate. Yeah, and some of them require a winch to open and close.

Also called a ranch gate.

In Texas, I'd call that a wire gate or a wire gap. The best gaps are built with lever arms attached to the post where the gap fastens to use Archimedes to pull the gap closed.
