This week’s stories call on us to humble ourselves before nature…and consider whether maybe …there are some things that animals know that we don’t.

The Great Dingo Debate by Andrea Dixon

In our first story, Andrea shares her love for Taz, a rescued dingo living on her family’s property in Hawkesbury, Darug country. As tensions rise between farmers, conservationists, and First Nations communities, the dingo emerges as a symbol of both conflict and kinship. Through cultural advocacy and calls for legislative change, Andrea and many others envision a future of respectful coexistence with dingoes.

‘Wild is not something to be feared’.
