Dingo Country



Follow along the dingo fence and enter into Dingo Country, a dramatic rocky high country exhibit and new home for our Dingoes.  

Visit the rustic Alpine Hut and hear the old Bushman's stories, listen to the dingo howl and catch a Dingo Lingo keeper talk every day at 3.30pm.  Plus, visit and download the howling dingo ringtone.

Now listed as a threatened species in Victoria, find out why the dingo might be the answer to ecological balance in the Australian landscape.
