Dingos on the Finke River

Last week we had a few days off so we drove out to the west Macs and camped at Redbank Gorge.  On the way home we stopped at a lookout near Glen Helen Gorge.  Whilst surveying the beautiful scenery of the Finke River we caught site of a large Dingo Trotting about. 

The big fella looked to be about 30-40 kgs and was dark orange.  We were a long way off and I only had my normal lense on my camera so i wasn’t able to get any close up pics.  The area was amazing and we found probably the best camping site we have seen in central Australia.

Dingo – We started howling to get the Dingos attention.  It workd for a few seconds and then we were spotted as imposters and the dingo ran off.
