I'm not saying you are wrong Bob, but could it be possible!!!

Mate, according to SWMBO, I am not often right. I think anything is possible, I would love to see a team of top Archaeologists [ had to look that up in the dictionary] funded part by Government, part by the private sector, to dig into just that question. The team would have to include prominent overseas professors, or any findings would be hotly disputed. Whose to say our Aborigines didn't originate in Tasmania, and moved north from there?. I don't know, but it's time we found out, I reckon.

I hope I can clear up this Tasmanian idea here.
I just got back from visiting several PNG islands and all the canines I saw on those islands looked similar to this one, seen on Kitava Island. Some also had the white tipped tail and paws, so, my theory (As opposed to Ann Elk) is that there was a North to South migration of humans with their pooches.[bighmmm]

I will stand corrected, but I don't think Tasmania had dingos. Part of the reason could be Aboriginals came to australia 50,000 / 60,000 years ago, the dingo came around 5,000 years ago.


The Australian Dingo, Icon of the Australian Outback

Dingoes are just Asian street dogs. They run wild in Thailand. Nothing special about them at all.

they are very smart though

Dingos are smarter than foxes, and a fox is no slouch.

Dingoes show 'unbelievable intelligence' - Telegraph

I've seen a group of dingo-like street dogs in Thailand co-operate to bring down a motorcyclist, so that's typical canine intelligence.

Sure they are, you see dingo's running around everywhere in Bangkok. Even Japan has them running around in Tokyo.

I often see the odd dingo or two on this site[bigwhistle]

Street dogs are everywhere in Thailand. Not Japan though.
