Man bitten by dingo while fishing on K'gari (Fraser Island)
A man has been bitten by a dingo on K'Gari (Fraser Island) while fishing. The man was alone in knee-deep water near Eurong at 11.30am on Friday when he was approached from behind by the dingo. It bit him on the back of the leg, leaving two puncture wounds and a small cut that required basic first aid. The man used his fishing rod to defend himself and told rangers from the Department of Environment that the dingo was almost fully submerged at the time of the incident. Rangers believe a bag the man was wearing, which contained fish, may have attracted the animal. More to come.
