Camera surveillance aims to stop horse flu spread

Camera surveillance will be installed at crossing points between New South Wales and Victoria to prevent the spread of horse flu.

Victoria is free of the virus, but equine influenza has been detected north of the border since the outbreak in August.

The state boundary is already patrolled by security guards and Victorian government agriculture staff.

The Government says its 24-hour night vision cameras will be installed at undisclosed locations.

They will be in place by early December.
