Dingo attack on Fraser

[Fathom]

by any chance, do you change character and structure on a full moon?

Now that guy mention it....
Maybe... 
That's not the worst of it.... The Dingos nearly quadruple in size too
Then there's the Bunyips. They are big enough to eat the dingos whole.

And don't be fooled by the safety fenced around some of the campsites.  Fancy thinking dingos can't dig.

killer koala's?

[Fathom]

killer koala's?

I can tell you have been there!
Their close relative the drop bear is also a regular sighting.

[wartim]

Yeah D4D's dingo mated with a Koala from outer space and now this new species are taking over the areas where the Brumbies used roam on Fraser.

[Fathom]

On the upside.with the plague of drop bears, Bunyips and giant dingos, the island is free if hoop snakes.
I heard the drop bears used them as tooth floss.
The place is dangerous.

What about the snakes that grow to 50 feet long and can crush a troopy with a load of backpackers..

I knew somebody that said they met someone who heard a rumour about that.

Also consider this...
Crocs have been spotted in Maryborough. Parks and Wildlife failed to catch it/ them.
(Google it... No BS..)

Crocs as a rule are north...
Umm about half of Fraser is north of Maryborough.
There is now a croc warning sign at the northern tip of Fraser... And on the park maps.
Maybe they have been eating dingos?
Just food for thought.
Add crocs to the list. And I haven't been mentioned the huge sharks I have seen caught off the beach.

Not a safe place at all...
Stay away.

Dingos eat things ...  If you wanna be a thing ..you may get eaten ...

This argument is really about the intelligence of mankind not the viciousness of dingoes.

Same same with any dangerous animal IMHO if you make stupid decisions in their environment ..don't complain when they pick you for dinner they have spent years working out the easy meal. 

I for one would rather see an idiot eaten than a dingo shot.

Idiots come an go and we are in no shortage of them across the country, we even encourage extra ones to visit.

It's the ding bats that are the most dangerous up there

[gronk]

Unfortunately, that aint gonna happen.......a lot easier to shoot a dingoe than a human.....

Dingoes ...nil
Humans....

That would just prove once and for all, there is a God.

[Robbo]

You may have also overlooked Bigfoot, I believe he's roaming around there too..

[Beachman]

my guess is your just writing that as bait, but if not here goes...more fool your wife for being paranoid something might  happen to the family and not just go there and take sensible precautions to try and be sure the family is safe (you can never rule anything out 100% from possibly happening), educate yourselves at how the majority of attacks have happened and you'll see a common theme appearing. Take sensible precautions whilst on the island and you'd likely have more chance of being involved in a car accident on your holiday then being "attacked" by dingos. Plenty of people enjoy going to Fraser Island (about 380 000 people a year last i read), so not sure what your point is with not being able to enjoy going to that National Park, it's just a choice your family seems to have made not to go there.
We have been taking our kids there and beach camping since they were both 6 months old, keep an eye on them and don't let them wander off alone (don't let young kids wander off together either, should have an adult present) and you shouldn't have a problem. For us and for many others the dingos are part of the attraction of Fraser Island, but we are smart enough to realise where we are and adapt to the conditions to make it as safe as we can for our family whilst there. Waking up in the morning and seeing fresh dingo foot prints in your camp is part of the Fraser attraction for us, and i'm sure many other people also.

Very well said.

And because of that blokes actions, there's now three less dogs on the island.

Why is it that everyone talks about the dangers on Fraser being the Dingo, but very few people comment on the 19 types of snakes on the island (especially death adder, taipan, red-bellied black snake & eastern brown snake)

Over the years fishing on the Island I’ve seen enough snakes either in the bushes around camp or snake tracks around camp first thing in the morning to concern me. For me the size of Fraser and the time it takes to get to medical help concerns me more than a Dingos do.

Another reason that I like camping up there in winter time, Seen more than a few very healthy sized snakes up there over the years .

You'll hear a blind snake long before ya see it though, with the tap tap tap  of their white cane.

Hey JC looks like I won't walking the beaches at Chrissy, just have to sit on the top deck and have a few beers instead

The white pointers in Eli Creek can be fatal for a married man also....

especially if you are seen by your wife alone with one 

[Snapman007]

Bat in hand to protect from dingoes.

[Bullant4x4]

No need! Just put out a few of these. Great little traps for when your asleep or leave camp. No-one pinching stuff either

I wouldn't use if others are around in a caravan park but when you alone out there, a great thing to have and use
