Dingo Patrols have been stepped up on Fraser Island after a tourist was surrounded by a pack of five and bitten repeatedly. The Korean woman was set upon at Eurong Beach early sunday morning, the Department of Environment and Resources Management Said.
Regional manager Ross Belcher said although there were five in the pack, only one became violent. "The woman was bitten on the leg, hands and arms," he said. She apparently followed saftey advice towards the dingo, causing it to retreat. She was treated at the scene and did not require hospital care. Mr Belcher said saftey patrols around the area had increased because of the attack and authorities would try to identify the culprit via tag checks.
Mr Belcher warned people again not to feed the wild dogs saying they were unpredictable and dangerous.
