To keep the animals in, or define a property boundary, keeping animals away from Crop farmers. Marking of property. Keeping trespassing at bay.

It it also the law to keep animals contained.

We don't have an abundance of plains that are cleared and never ending, plus they are joined to major Highways.

The Australian landscape is tough and rugged, if your prized Bull or Stallion gets out and causes havoc with the neighbours or traffic etc. You won't appreciate the Bill you get or any injuries sustained by the animal. Not to mention the animal getting lost.

Are all kangaroos wild?

Most kangaroos are wild. Kangaroos that are kept in wildlife sanctuaries which are open to the public tend to be used to people. In these places, the gentler kangaroos are kept in huge, fenced paddocks where visitors can roam and feed the kangaroos on grain they purchase from the sanctuary shop. These kangaroos will graze contendedly despite the presence of humans, or come up to people, nuzzling them for food. In one or two states of Australia, kangaroos are permitted to be kept as pets, but not in suburban areas.


Should horses be kept in reticulated paddocks?

I will assume that by reticulated paddocks you mean divide paddocks used for rotation. This is one of the best methods for keeping horses on grass for as long as possible. It allows one or more paddocks to recover while the horse has grass in another paddock. Thus preventing grazing down of all the grass and having the paddock torn up in bad weather.
