Dingo: What is it?

The Dingo, Canis lupis: Breed: dingo is a member of a group of primitive dogs characterised by short coats, erect ears, characteristic skull shape and teeth and, most importantly an annual breeding cycle. It is a medium built, elegant and active dog of great nimbleness and agility with a head and body length of 860 - 980 mm and tail length of 260 - 380 mm. Adults generally weigh between 10kgs and 20kgs. The "typical" colour is ginger with white feet, chest and tail tip, although animals of other colours including sable, black, and white are often found. Dingoes are predominantly carnivorous, but will eat a wide variety of foods including plant material and insects. Their annual breeding season commonly begins in earnest in autumn continuing into winter with litters averaging three to five puppies usually born April - August. Australia's largest mammalian predator, Dingoes have been present in Australia for at least 3,500 years and perhaps as long as 11,000 years. They have an important ecological role, helping suppress populations of feral animals, and there is anecdotal evidence they help maintain populations of endangered species by excluding introduced feral predators like cats and foxes.

Nascer do Sol (sunrise)

Para comecar mais um dia de atividades aqui na Outward Bound Australia, resolvemos ver o sol nascer no topo da Tharwa Hill. Apenas 10 minutos de caminhada.

To start more one day of activities here in the Outward Bound Australia, we decided to see the sun be born in the top of the Tharwa Hill. Barely 10 minutes of walk.

Awsome!!!!
