Dingo mauls boy, woman on Queensland's Fraser Island
READ MORE
A dingo has attacked a boy and a woman on Fraser Island, not far from where another child was mauled about five weeks ago.
The nine-year-old boy and a woman, 24, were attacked at Eurong, on the eastern side of the island on Thursday afternoon.
They are recovering after being flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, suffering bite wounds.
The boy has injuries to his legs, the woman to her legs and arms.
It’s the second dingo attack on the island in recent weeks.
In late January, six-year-old Michael Schipanski was rushed to hospital after being bitten on the leg while returning to his Eurong campsite with his family.
His father later told how he had to wrench his son from the dingo’s jaws, after the boy encountered a pack of the animals and one of them turned on him.
Mark Schipanski said he believed his son would have died if he hadn’t been able to halt the attack.
Rangers continue to warn people about the dangers of the island’s dingo population.
Visitors are told to keep their distance, make sure food and bait is securely stored, and to walk in groups, always keeping children within arm’s distance.
