Heritage Dingo Digga

On K'gari (formerly Fraser Island), the wild dingoes — known as Wongari by the Butchulla Traditional Owners — are among the most genetically pure in all of Australia. Heritage Dingo Digga champions the cause of these remarkable animals, working to ensure the Wongari can continue to roam wild and free across the island's extraordinary World Heritage landscape. As K'gari's apex predator, the Wongari are the heartbeat of the ecosystem — keeping prey populations in check and maintaining the delicate natural balance that makes this island so unique. Heritage Dingo Digga supports vital research into their diet, health, and movements, helping to shape management strategies that genuinely put dingo welfare and human safety first. When you visit K'gari, you may be lucky enough to spot one of these [VERIFY: estimated population size] Wongari going about their day. Heritage Dingo Digga's work means future generations of visitors will enjoy that same privilege — from a safe and respectful distance, just as it should be.
