Everyone knows Australia can be a dangerous place.
What with Sharks, Funnel Web Spiders, Crocodiles, Snakes and the rest. Tourists need to be on high alert when travelling outside the metropolitan areas. A 19-year-old Canadian female teenager travelled from Canada to Australia, and she ended up on Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island. Fraser Island is the home of approximately 200 Dingoes. The Dingo is Australia's wild dog and is an apex predator.
Miss James went swimming alone at 5am on Monday 19th January. Unfortunately, her body was found about an hour later surrounded by Dingoes. It is not known whether she drowned or had an encounter with sharks. An autopsy on Wednesday has been unable to confirm the cause of death.
A coroner's report found the 19-year-old was bitten by dingoes before she died, but drowning was the most likely cause of death. The Queensland government has put down six dingoes supposedly involved in the death of a Canadian backpacker on Fraser Island, with more to be culled in the coming days.
@jshm2 You do have a point..But just so you know, 25% of the population wasnt born here. And the occasional foreign tourist is arguably better than a classroom full of school kids every few weeks..😷
