This fascinating mud brick fence is situated in the bush not far from Maryborough. The fence used to surround the Brogan family homestead, and was used to keep people and animals out of their private space and gardens.
The mud brick fence is located not far from Paddys Ranges. From Mud Brick Track you can follow Settling Ponds Track up through Paddys Ranges to the
Settling Ponds Track Picnic Area.
