Why do we always look at things in isolation? Fraser Island has a world heritage listing, but I don't know why, the island today is little like the island I visited in the '80's. The whole situation regarding the island and it's survival needs to be looked at, not just the Dingos. But no, just slap another band-aid on the island and squeeze a fwe more dollars out of it. Give it another twenty years of current explotation and we'll have to pay people to go there. Sadman Sue,

The Dingos are only one aspect of the fraser Island problem.
Why do we always look at things in isolation?
Fraser Island has a world heritage listing, but I don’t know why,
the island today is little like the island I visited in the ’80’s.
The whole situation regarding the island and it’s survival needs
to be looked at, not just the Dingos.

But no, just slap another band-aid on the island and squeeze a
fwe more dollars out of it. Give it another twenty years of
current explotation and we’ll have to pay people to go there.

But I also firmly believe there is a massive problem with the QPWS rangers and their attitude to dingoes. They obviously have no concept about conservation and the vital role the dingo has played on Fraser Island over the last 100 or 1000 years. At present there is no other word that describes what these rangers are doing. They are torturing the dingoes and so are some of those so called researchers who have been there very recently. There are many other people other than Laurie Corbett who are qualified to offer sensible suggestions to Fraser Island Dingo Management and hopefully they will be involved in the new submissions. I have recently been approved by DPFI Biosecurity to have a private Dingo Sanctuary here in Qld of pure dingoes. It is a very positive move to recognising the importance of this endangered dingo and will go a long way in the process of preserving and saving this very wonderful, intelligent, spiritual and playful animal. I was once told by Bruce Jacob ( Chewton Dingo farm in Vic ) that a dingo was like a monkey in a dog suit. I have spent 14 years living with dingoes and they are very cheeky and affectionate. Hopefully your input will bring about some positive moves in the right direction. Hooroo Dingosimon Well said Sue.
