04-03, 2025A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson stated that the three women, all in their 20s, sustained minor lacerations to their legs at 2:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. AEST) yesterday. Paramedics assessed them at the nearby Happy Valley ambulance station at 6 p.m. (7 p.m. AEST).
It is understood that all three women declined hospital treatment. Notably, this is not the first dingo attack to occur at the popular tourist destination this year, raising concerns about visitor safety.
In January, a four-year-old girl was injured after being attacked by a dingo, which reportedly lunged at her and her 12-year-old sibling. Just a week prior, in a separate incident, a three-year-old child suffered a dingo bite to the back of their leg on the island.
Authorities strongly advise visitors to adopt "dingo-safe" behaviors, including always walking in groups, carrying sticks, and avoiding running. These precautions are intended to reduce the risk of dingo attacks on Fraser Island for tourists and locals alike.
