I went out around 1.30am last night and there were two identical dog-like animals sniffing round my garden. I got a brief look as the security light came on, before they fled, and they really looked like dingos - I couldn't think of a domestic breed that they looked exactly like. No collars or other evidence of domesticity. They stopped across the cul-de-sac and stared at me for a while, as soon as I moved they fled again, running parallel and synchronised (as if they ran together all the time).

Now I have seen large red/brown foxes round here at night, I once nearly ran over a large Emu nearby on Marmion ave, I nearly got knocked off my bike by a roo on a path near to Bunnings, and I've seen any number of dugats around the streets here.

So we do get a bit of wildlife, in this bit of suburbia.

But Dingos??
