PACKS OF DINGOES
PRESENCE IN AUSTRALIA ANIMALS UNUSUALLY SAVAGE Drovers who are taking 750 store bullocks from Caldervalo Station, Queensland, to New South Wales, reported on arrival at Charleville recently that they had to put on a double watch at nights owing to the presence of dingoes, which were hunting in packs throughout the drought areas. Station owners report that they have never seen the dingoes so bold and savage as at present. They are to be seen slinking along creek bedß in packs. Sixteen were caught near Yokohama and six on Lei inter and Little Ivenn.v stations, Queer sland. Packs of 12 or more have observed on Redfern cattle station
On 0110 occasion a drover sow dingoes tearing a calf to pieces. As the drover had no n'fle or revolver with him he was unwilling to approach them. One drover states that the dingoes tested his nerves at nights, as their uncanny yell continued throughout the night, and all he could see was their eyes gleaming in the darkness. He always welcomed the coming of daylight":
