Thread: Lindy Chamberlain. I bet you are laughing, or crying.

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".

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.

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,

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.

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.

dingos don't carry wallets.

They do when they are making a swift getaway.
