I know what you're saying but when will parents "Learn the Lesson"?
I was working on Fraser a couple of years ago and to get phone signal, I had to stand on a dune overlooking the foreshore at Dilli Village.
This bloke, opened the gate at his holiday digs, and walked to the beach, leaving the gate open. About 5 minutes later, as I was talking on the phone, I saw a 3-4 year old run through the gate after the dad. The next thing, a couple of dingoes appeared and started following the tacker. I yelled out to the bloke, who couldn't seem to realise what I was getting at and so I ran down the dune toward the kiddie, yelling. It was enough for the dogs to retreat. On re-assuming my Telstra position, I noticed several other dogs in the scrub so, in reality, the whole episode ended well, except for the bloke accepting no responsibility, after I explained what had occurred. He didn't even have the courtesy to thank me and just wanted all the dogs shot!

Are a lot of today's, self entitled people stupid? Too right, they are!

Just a tiny bit off track but Ahn will be painting Lindy next thursday night.

Will be worth watching.

They cant possibly make things any clearer regarding dingos on Fraser.

Agree

I’ve never had an issue in the 5 or 6 time I’ve been on fraser....

I’d say they left food not secured and the tent open.....

Then maybe it is time the authorities started banging heads before visitors get off the barge after giving them a "Do you have a brain in your bonce" education examination?

They had a camper trailer with annexe , two dingo's slid under the annexe wall, [ must not have had the floor in.] That's from a mate up at Fraser. Could be Chinese whispers.

[Saitch]

Why would a 14 month old kiddie be alone in an annexe?

[V8Ian]

Define annexe. We're relying on people who call a truck and dog a road train, or a backhoe a bulldozer.

Perhaps they should be given a bag of flour to practice with beforehand as in the TV show "Frasier"

Frasier notices that Eddie has begun ripping Niles's son to bits.
Flour is all over the couch.

Frasier: Oh, dear.
Niles: What?
Frasier: Eddie.
Daphne: [Australian accent:] That dingo's got your baby!

Niles notices and stands up to go to the rescue.

Niles: Oh God, Eddie!
Daphne: Don't worry, I'll clean up that mess, Dr. Crane.

A question I can't answer. Perhaps the parents were having some alone time and bub was down in the annexe, who knows. Not the time for second guessing I think.

One question. If it was you, would you like some one to post that.

Work it out for yourself.

One question. If it was you, would you like some one to post that. Enough of the confected outrage Bob, If you re-read my post carefully you will see that it is written in the future tense. I'll elucidate, "they" is the authorities (as per 4bee's O.P.) when handing out 4wd, camping permits, etc, they can put on a course for child minding, making people aware of the dangers, as if that hasn't been done already, to wit Lindy Chamberlain, etc, over the years.

No confected outrage. Just trying to understand why some one would think it's funny to post about a baby being ripped apart when a 14 month old baby is in hospital with a fractured skull. Especially when you could have posted what you have above. Still can't . No outrage, that's the internet, I guess.

I wasn't saying it was funny, I was trying to highlight the fact that the dingo danger is so well known that it has made it's way around the world. In case you are unfamiliar with the show, Daphne is from England, and the Cranes live in Seattle, Washington USA. Daphne even puts on an Australian accent,(she normally has a Manchester one, although her brother has a London one) so there can be no confusion as to where dingoes reside. Also re-read the quote, the only thing ripped apart is a bag of flour, so (not so) nice try at a "wowser" Bob.

I see what's going on here Bob, so I'll paraphrase "Monty Python",.... a man walks into a room and the occupant says "So you've come here for an argument" he replies "No I haven't".... and so the sketch continues.

By the bloke saying something like , "No, if I wanted that I'd have stayed at home & saved the Bus fare".[biggrin]

You are the only one pushing the argument. I could not care less about some random TV show. All I care about is some traumatised family with a 14 month old baby in hospital with a fractured skull. I can see you are smart enough to post a sensible post, and I guess you were just trying to bring some humour to the situation. Fair enough, but every time I think of that baby, I think of our 14 month old Grand Daughter. And somehow I've lost my sense of humour. No offence to you,

[DiscoMick]

I think, as I understood it, the child was asleep on the floor in a camper trailer and the dingo pushed open the screen, got it's head in, grabbed the kid and dragged it out the opening.
The parents woke up, jumped out and chased it away. I think that's what they said.
I'm glad our new camper trailer is elevated with a steel door at the top of the steps.
Can't understand why anyone would feed dingoes around a campsite. Just dumb.

[bob10]

To be fair, none of us knows the full story. I haven't seen any where that says they were feeding dingos, but you just can't dismiss it . Something attracted the animals, could be just bad camp rubbish discipline, or it may be there is not enough natural food on the island, those photos of dingos in the news showed the skinniest dingos I've seen. A starving wild animal will get desperate, and a small child or baby is no different to a lamb. Perhaps the time has come to decide what needs to be done. Less dingos or far less tourists. I know the answer to that, dingos don't carry wallets.

[4bee]

dingos don't carry wallets.


They do when they are making a swift getaway.[smilebigeye]
