• There is interaction between these cycles through a range of carnivores (domestic dogs, feral dogs, dingoes and red foxes) which act as definitive hosts.

• A canvas flap served as a door, and allowed the hutkeeper to exit rapidly if dingoes attacked the sheep.

• More likely, pastoralists found that fencing, once dingoes were controlled, led to substantial savings in wages.

• Each evening, the sheep walked back to the station, where they were counted back into the folds and spent the night protected against dingoes by the hutkeeper.

• The cattle industry may benefit from the predation of dingoes on rabbits, kangaroos and rats.

• Current threats to the species include predation by introduced species such as feral cats, red foxes, and dingoes.

• That dingoes showed aggressive behaviour towards humans seemed to be similarly likely during different times of the year.
