A dingo has bitten a woman on the popular Queensland tourist island of K’gari after encircling a separate group of adults and being scared away.
One of the dingoes involved in an attack on a 23-year-old woman on K’gari has been captured and humanely euthanised.
Rangers confirmed that at least one of the animals in the pack that attacked the woman was classified as a risk and has a collar with a device to track movement and behaviour.
Four dingoes attacked the woman while she was jogging,and she ran into the water in a bid to escape.
Name changes like this are vital for the way we as Australians see our country,but also the way the rest of the world sees us.
The change caps a lengthy campaign by the Butchulla people and the most significant moment to date in a state government program of colonial-place-name renewal.
The unfenced beachfront camping area has been closed to the public until March 31 while rangers monitor the dingoes’ movements.
A young girl was one of two confirmed cases of the potentially fatal stings flown from the island to Hervey Bay Hospital yesterday.
A five-year-old boy has been bitten by a dingo on Sunday afternoon on K’gari,or Fraser Island.
In the Butchulla language K'gari means paradise.
