Interested in survival training, in australia. planning on a bit of a trek/camp on a friends property which is very large and runs onto a little beach. just after some ideas/advice for food/water, things to practice, starting fires, etc.


Answer
You want to focus on Water, Fire, Shelter, Food. I would bring tents, food, a lighter, and water with you so you have it in case you cant do any of the survival techniques. I`d try and get you hands on as many books as possible. Tom Brown has written several excellent survival books. The US army survival manual is also very good. Look online at amazon.com

Has a dingo really ever ate a baby?




It Depends





Answer

Do they ??

The whole thing began on the evening of August 17, 1980, while Lindy and Michael Chamberlain and their three children were camped at Ayers Rock, a massive rock formation in the central Australian outback. Lindy began shouting that a dingo had carried off her youngest child, nine-week-old Azaria. Other campers also saw a dingo near the Chamberlain tent. Aborigine trackers found signs that a large dingo had carried a heavy object away from the campsite. There were bloodstains in and on the tent, and several tattered items of the child's clothing were discovered later some distance from the camp. But the body was never found.

An initial coroner's inquest exonerated the Chamberlains and held that the baby had been carried off by a dingo. But police and prosecutors were skeptical that the animal was capable of such a thing, even though there had been dingo attacks at Ayers Rock not long before Azaria's disappearance. They consulted experts and collected enough new evidence that a second inquest was held, this one finding that the child had been murdered. After a widely publicized trial the parents were convicted and the mother spent several years in jail.

Many Australians were outraged. A grassroots campaign to clear the Chamberlains' name began, with a number of scientists and other interested parties devoting a substantial amount of time to examining the prosecution's evidence and undermining its conclusions. In 1987 an official inquiry agreed that the case hadn't been adequately proven. The convictions were quashed and the Chamberlains eventually received $1.3 million compensation.

In the end dingoes weren't officially blamed for Azaria's presumed death--the cause was held to be unknown. But the trial seems to have established that a dingo consuming a baby is at least physically possible.

In 1998, Australian news media carried a report of a dingo dragging an infant several feet before being shooed off. Curiously, the dingo in this case had a deformed foot, and early trackers of the dingo in the Chamberlain case speculated that it was similarly afflicted.
