  • It's the incredible escape from a pack of dingoes.
  • A woman running along the beach in Garee, formerly known as Fraser Island, forced to jump in the ocean to save herself.
  • She was flown to Harvey Bay Hospital, where Dan Nolan joins me now.
  • Dan, how is she?
  • Good evening, Ali.
  • Look, this woman, this 23-year-old woman from Brisbane, is very lucky to be alive.
  • She's suffered up to 30 bites all over her body.
  • Both legs, both arms, her upper shoulder, and her torso.
  • But she is now here in a stable condition at the Harvey Bay Hospital and she is expected to make a full recovery.
  • But someone who's familiar with the incident that happened today has told me that if this had been a child instead of an adult, we could be reporting a very different story tonight.
  • You don't want to even think about that, do you?
  • Have you heard any more on what actually happened, Dan?
  • Well, Ali, she was running along the beach about 9am this morning.
  • This was at Orchard Beach, which is an area that's known to be home to some of the more aggressive dingoes on the island.
  • Now, running is one of the things that people are advised not to do when they're visiting the island, because it can excite the animals and lead to unexpected consequences.
  • Now, obviously, no one would ever imagine going for a jog on the beach could lead to this.
  • But luckily for her, a good Samaritan who was driving by stepped in and he actually jumped out of his car and had to punch some of these dingoes to get them off her in the water.
  • And he's almost certainly saved her life today.
  • And Dan, there seems to be more and more incidents involving dingoes.
  • Do we know why?
  • Well, if you speak to dingo experts, they'll tell you that the number one problem for dingoes behaving badly is human interaction.
  • Now, we're not blaming that woman today, but those animals that have attacked her have certainly been exposed to human interaction in the past.
  • That's made them not fear humans anymore.
  • And to even see humans as a food source.
  • Let's take a listen to senior ranger Linda Berendorf.
  • Dingoes will always be opportunistic.
  • They will always take opportunities that present themselves, especially around those human wildlife interface.
  • Dingoes are naturally very curious, so it's actually up to people to make sure that they don't put themselves into compromising situations.
  • Dan, I mean, you've reported from that very beach.
  • It's a it's a delicate balance for the rangers.
  • How do you keep humans safe while also protecting the dingoes?
  • Look, it's incredibly hard, Ali, because half a million tourists visit that island each year, and unfortunately, a small percentage of them want interactions with dingoes, want a selfie with a dingo and sometimes slip them some food to get that.
  • And that's the worst thing that you can do.
  • That leads to incidents eventually down the track like what we've seen today.
  • So traumatic for that woman.
  • Just glad she's OK. Thanks, Dan.
