What to do if you come face-to- face with a dingo
There have been a string of dingo attacks on K’gari off the coast of south east Queensland in the last month.
In one attack, a 10-year-old boy was dragged into a dam. In the two latest attacks, women were chased into the surf after being confronted on the beach. All three victims suffered wounds as the pack of dingos struck.
In this episode of the Briefing, we’re joined by Dr Bradley Smith, a world-renowned dingo expert from the Central Queensland University and author of the Dingo Debate published by the CSIRO to find out what to do if you’re approached by a dingo.
