Rangers are patrolling Fraser Island off Queensland’s Sunshine Coast following a savage dingo attack on a German tourist.

It is understood the 23-year-old man holidaying near Hope Valley on Fraser Island wandered away from his tour group this morning, fell asleep on a track, and was attacked by two dingos.

The man suffered serious injuries to his legs, arms and head.

He has been flown to a hospital on the mainland in a stable condition.

A spokesman from the Queensland Department of National Parks and Recreation says rangers have increased their patrols on the island.

He is warning holidaymakers and residents to follow government safety advice.

A 10-year-old boy was killed by dingos on Fraser Island 11 years ago.

The previous state government had promised to cull some of the animals.
