Two litters of wild dingoes caught by dingo hunters at Gulguba, Queensland

The British colonised Australia in 1788, and soon began to think of dingoes as a problem. Dingoes attacked the sheep that the British people brought with them, so the settlers shot, trapped and later poisoned the dingoes. Because of this hunting, dingoes were forced out of south-east Australia.
