of the island. The backdrop where else but beautiful
Fraser, it boasts the only place where you can still
find the most purebred dingoes on the Australian continent
- and in all of Queensland - in fact on the entire planet
earth. Just how important is that? If you never choose
to read anything else about our native purebred dog
you must read this compelling story… |
