A little girl was rushed to hospital after being attacked by a dingo on Queensland’s popular K’gari Island.

The four-year-old girl was bitten and scratched by the wild animal shortly before 1 p.m. on Saturday at Orchid Beach on the island formerly known as Fraser Island.

She was bitten in the chest and suffered scratches and bruises.

Her condition was stable and she was flown to Hervey Bay Hospital early Saturday afternoon.

A male dingo, believed to be responsible for the attack, is currently being observed by rangers.

K’gari was hit by a series of dingo attacks in 2023.

In early July of the same year, an eight-year-old boy was attacked and in June a ten-year-old boy was dragged underwater by a dingo.

The island has been hit by a series of dingo attacks in recent years.

In mid-July, a 24-year-old woman was hospitalized after being attacked by a pack of dingoes while jogging on the beach.

A six-year-old girl was hospitalized with stab wounds to the head and hand following a dingo attack in April.

In total, there were more than 100 high-risk or threatening interactions between dingoes and humans on the island last year.
