Indigenous people are making dingo safety sticks on a Queensland island 🏝️🏝️ | ABC Australia

“It’s not to flog them.” Carrying a stick is a must when walking around the world's largest sand island, K'gari (Fraser Island).

There's been 16 high-risk dingo interactions recorded on the island this year alone.

While plastic pipe is given to tourists to ward off dingoes on the island, the Indigenous Butchulla people are making their own safety sticks to keep people safe.
