Dingoes sighted near Burdekin Falls Dam Caravan Park

Several dingoes have been sighted close to the Burdekin Falls Dam Caravan Park.

We ask campers and members of the public to be careful while visiting Burdekin Falls Dam:

Make sure children are supervised at all times
Do not approach or feed dingoes – this includes leaving food or bait accessible
Always walk in groups of two or more, and carry a safety stick
Do not run or jog – it may trigger dingoes’ instinct to chase
If a dingo comes close, stay calm, stand at your full height and face the dingo. Do not run or wave your arms at them. Calmly move away to a safe area e.g. a car or fenced area.
