AMBASSADORS FOR DINGOES

Do you know an Ambassador?

 

WA Dingo Creed

I WILL HOWL WITH YOU AS YOU GRIEVE FOR YET ANOTHER HABITAT LOST AND WILL PINE BY YOUR SIDE FOR YOUR ANCESTORS KILLED OUT OF IGNORANCE AND HATE. YOU ARE MY MATE, A VISION OF WHAT BEING AUSSIE IS ALL ABOUT, LOYAL, DETERMINED AND A LARRIKIN - I WILL NOT LET YOUR CRIES FOR HELP GO UNHEARD ANOTHER DAY.

Lynette Watson

In 1998, emerging out of a burgeoning population of dingoes in our small acreage at Keilor, and many years of searching, we finally located what was to become the Dingo Discovery Centre, nestled on a picturesque hillside, surrounded by state forest, yet still within commuting distance to the Melbourne CBD.

My Golden Friends

Roughly 28 years ago saw the beginning of my love for the dingo of Fraser Island. Being a very keen fisherwoman, the dingoes were always close by hoping to be fed a meal of fresh fish, which they loved. If you were too mean to feed them a few fish, they would help themselves from your catch in the bucket. I for one never minded, as there was plenty of fish to be caught in those days, and naturally the dingo still hangs around the beach looking for handouts. [more]

Donna the Hearing Dingo

We had an appointment at the train station at Alice Springs to meet John Hogan and Donna the world's first dingo guide dog. John and Donna were having a few hours stop over on their way to Darwin aboard the Ghan. They live in Sydney and had travelled to Adelaide to board the train. Due to state laws in South Australia dingoes are not allowed to be kept as pets, but due to Donna being John's life support and guide (Donna has saved John from snake attack/bite twice) this dingo bypasses draconian and ignorant state laws that 'outlaw' the dingo.

Taffy Abbotts

I have had the pleasure of dingoes for the past 14 years. Stock the original one I found abandoned at 4 days of age. She was the only one in the litter still alive, her mother probably baited or died after whelping. I raised her on an eyedropper, then a bottle at three weeks. She stopped taking milk and went straight onto solid food she was never tied up or penned up but chose to stay here because she wanted to. She would go off hunting for up to three days at a time but always came back. [more]

Sharing my life with Ding

Ding and I were co-partners for 17 years, he passed over 4/09/05. I have been very blessed to walk beside him in this life time.  We came together when he was 5 weeks old. At that time, I had no idea what I had taken on. [more]

The Final Toad

The ancient Australian dreamtime is slowly transforming into a nightmare in the top end of our great land. Turtles, goannas, fish, snakes and crocodiles are dying at an alarming rate. The cane toad, that imported, toxic, crasher of ecosystems with no natural predator has infiltrated the dream, is wreaking havoc and is determined to continue its work. It was introduced into Queensland in 1933 as a natural predator for the sugar cane beetle, but the experiment quickly turned into a diabolical problem. [more]

Immy Ariff

My name is Immy, and I have cerebral palsy.  I'm a professional web site designer who types with my toes. I have been designing web sites for five years now.

I also develop software for a hobby.  I am currently developing a computer program that corrects common spelling and grammar mistakes. It analyzes and corrects sentences and paragraphs in a word processing document. I plan to make it marketable someday on the software market.[more]
