Obviously a lot of media about the dingos lately.

I've been travelling to Fraser/K'gari for over 30 years. The last 2 visits were the first time that I as an adult felt in danger. I've always been vigilant with watching my 2 kids, but it certainly takes the relaxation out of the equation when you're constantly scanning for them.

My opinion is kill any dingo that shows any sign of aggression to humans. I know that will be unpopular, but I can't think of another way. The fines and "advice" are having zero effect. Most of the time the tourists that encourage negative dingo behaviour are long gone when that dingo exhibits these behaviours to other people.

I go every year, but this year am genuinely scared of taking my kids. We stay in a house, can't even think about what it would be like camping

I agree with @c15co

They should not be killed. Perhaps there should be a program like the one for the bears at Yellowstone. They are relocated when they learn humans are a source of food to an area where they can no longer pose a threat to humans.
