Dingo meeting

A public meeting against the concept of introducing dingoes into Grampians National Park will be at Dunkeld Community Centre from 7pm on Monday.

The Weekly Advertiser had originally reported the event happening on April 7.

John and Rhonda Crawford from Victoria Valley’s Rock-bank Merino Poll Merino Stud have organised the meeting and Mrs Crawford confirmed the April 11 date.

The meeting is in response to a Victorian Parliament Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into ecosystem decline in Victoria late last year.

One of the inquiry recommendations was to trial dingo introduction into the national park to assess benefits of having an extra apex predator in the environment to help balance natural ecology.
