Wearing an open-neck countryman's shirt and donning the peaked cap of the volunteers who rebuild the fences and lives of farmers struck by bushfire and other disaster, new Governor-General General Sir Peter Cosgrove came to the small Victorian town of Wandong to celebrate what he called the Australian spirit.

The very worst of circumstances, he told a crowd of hundreds, many of them victims of Victoria's Black Saturday and more recent fires, brought out the best in Australians.

"We will bend our backs and empty our pockets to help others," he said.

The thousands of volunteers who had joined Blaze Aid, formed soon after the Black Saturday fires of 2009, had not only re-built enough fencing to span Australia, they had built bridges between themselves and those who needed help, he said.

It was Sir Peter's first public engagement since becoming Governor-General.

He was piped to the strains of Waltzing Matilda into the event, near Kilmore north of Melbourne, by former West Australian police band piper and Blaze Aid volunteer Jimmy Clarysse.

But it was clear Sir Peter, who has seen a bit of disaster in his time - in war in East Timor, in the wake of earthquake and tsunami in Aceh and in cyclone-struck north Queensland - wanted this to be an informal occasion, with the focus on volunteers rather than him.

SHIRE fences would be a better solution than the larger multi-shire option, according to Winton Wild Dog Control Group chairman Peter White.

He supported his shire council's decision to favour cluster fencing over an exclusion fence that would encompass 8.8 million hectares, saying it was a responsible position to take in light of the financial struggle landholders were going through.

"They don't want another burden at this stage," he said.

"I take my hat off to the group proposing the check fence but I think we would be better off having one shire having full control rather than four shires negotiating."

The group originally expressed disappointment at not being included in the 1400km fence proposal.

Mr White said 70 per cent of the sheep in the shire ran within 50km of its proposed boundary and it would have only increased the pressure of wild dogs and kangaroo populations.

"We thought, if it can't help the whole shire, it's not worth doing at all."

He was not against fencing though, noting that his grandfather had fenced Athelstane when he came back from World War 1.

As other graziers did the same, the Winton shire eventually stepped in and linked them all up on its southern boundary.

"It worked well while the shire council was responsible for maintenance," he said.
