The Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) is investigating the death of a dingo (wongari) on K'gari and is asking for public assistance.
On 1 June 2025, rangers found the deceased dingo at Ngkala Rocks on the eastern side of the island, north of Waddy Point.
An independent veterinary examination confirmed the dingo had died from a suspected vehicle strike and was then deliberately decapitated.
Anyone who was visiting the Orchid Beach and Waddy Point area north to Ngkala Rocks in late May or early June or has dashcam footage is urged to contact DETSI.
Rangers on K'gari are also asking people to drive cautiously on the beach following recent deaths of dingoes due to suspected vehicle strike.
Anyone with information about the recent deaths of dingoes on K'gari can provide it anonymously by calling 1300 130 372 or (07) 4127 9150, via the DETSI website
