Dingoes on K’gari injured as fishing tourism picks up

It’s Tailor Season on K’gari, formerly known as Fraser Island.  

This means dozens of keen fishermen will be setting up camp across the island’s 75 mile beach over the coming months.

Rangers say dingoes also known as Wongarri have had to be treated for serious injuries after getting snagged on fishing lines, hooks and lures.
