Dingo maims a five-year-old boy at the Fraser Island campsite when he is rushed to hospital in a rescue helicopter with bite marks all over his body.
A five-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital after being attacked by a dingo on K’gari, formally known as Fraser Island.
The boy suffered severe bite marks on his head, arms and back at the Ocean Lake campground around 4:10 p.m. Sunday.
He was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in serious but stable condition, by a rescue helicopter that landed on Orchid Beach.
The latest attack came just weeks after Orchid Beach was fenced off to keep dingoes out of the township, according to island residents.
The camp where the attack occurred is understood to remain unfenced.
