Dingoes! Wild Animals!
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO NOT FEED or ENCOURAGE dingoes....it is a death sentence! for the
dingo Under current Government Management!
Misunderstood incidents reported to DERM will result in the immediate
destruction of the animal.
DON’T WALK ALONE
DON’T BE FRIGHTENED…STAY CALM…DON’T RUN!
NEVER RUN!....Watch, maintain eye contact, stay alert!
Could you imagine yourself behaving carelessly in other wildlife parks that
contain…lions, crocs and bears…
STAND STILL…and...remain QUIET
FOLD YOUR ARMS; DO NOT WAVE THEM AROUND
CHILDREN RAISE YOUR ARMS HIGH ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND STAY STILL
STAY VERY CLOSE TO PARENTS/GARDIANS (arms length)
…the dingo will become disinterested and simply move on…
or if required first glancing back and...SLOWLY back away.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE !!!
or YOU may as well be holding the gun to their head!
On Fraser Island
...we have ’people’ problems not a ‘dingo’ problem...
OUR ACTIONS and UNDERSTANDING will save them!
A lunge is
NOT
an ATTACK!
Ears BACK is
DEFENSE with
teeth visible sometimes
This is
NOT
an ATTACK
(don't be alarmed as the dingo is frightened or inquisitive of
you and your intentions in their territory)
