There are several shops on Fraser Island where you can purchase food and supplies. You will find everything you need here on the island, but keep in mind, it’s more expensive than on the mainland. Don’t be surprised by the mark-up in price, as it’s a seller’s market on Fraser!
Dingoes, like any other wild animal, can be dangerous! But if you follow the rules put in place by your guides, you will likely find yourself well out of harm’s way and able to enjoy these beautiful animals from a safe distance.

They are not to be approached and under no circumstances should anyone try to pet or feed them – they are NOT pets and can and will attack is provoked.
