Obviously a lot of media about the dingos lately.
I’ve been travelling to Fraser/K’gari for over 30 years. The last 2 visits were the first time that I as an adult felt in danger. I’ve always been vigilant with watching my 2 kids, but it certainly takes the relaxation out of the equation when you’re constantly scanning for them.
My opinion is kill any dingo that shows any sign of aggression to humans. I know that will be unpopular, but I can’t think of another way. The fines and “advice” are having zero effect. Most of the time the tourists that encourage negative dingo behaviour are long gone when that dingo exhibits these behaviours to other people.
I go every year, but this year am genuinely scared of taking my kids. We stay in a house, can’t even think about what it would be like camping
In my opinion that’s a human problem, not a dingo problem. There is easy food because people are feeding them or being irresponsible with their food and rubbish around and in the campsites. Wild animals will always go for the easiest food sources. Killing the animals does not solve the problem, unless you either educate the people or restrict access.
