Inside tip · Hervey Bay & K'gari

On K'gari, how close should you keep children because of dingoes?

Answer: Within arm's reach

Never feed dingoes, walk in groups with a stick, and don't run: running can trigger a negative encounter.

Stay within arm's reach of children, even small teenagers. Feeding dingoes or leaving food and rubbish unsecured is an offence, and rangers fine people. Families with children 14 and under should camp in dingo-fenced areas.
