Overview
- At Dales Campground, a six-year-old's clothing was nipped Saturday, a six-year-old boy was bitten Monday, and a four-year-old girl and her mother were bitten Wednesday, with the injured treated at Tom Price Hospital.
- Rangers have boosted day and night patrols and now hold a licence to locate and humanely destroy the identified dingoes.
- Nine DBCA staff, including a dingo-management specialist flown from Perth, are searching after a quiet night reported Thursday.
- The campground stays open as staff brief arrivals, urge people to secure food and supervise children, and offer families alternative sites or refunds.
- Experts say risk rises when dingoes get used to people and food, and officials say the three targeted adults are known locals in a stable park population.
