Queensland woman mauled by pack of dingoes

A dingo on a Fraser Island beach.

A woman's been bitten multiple times after being follwoed by a pack of dingoes on K'gari/Fraser Island in Queensland.

Emergency services rushed to the scene on Orchid Beach just after 9am local time, where they found the woman with multiple wounds to her limbs and torso.

The ABC reports she encountered four of the animals while jogging along a beach and was followed into the water by two of them.

She's been airlifted to Hervey Bay Hospital and is in a stable condition.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will conduct an investigation and is encouraging people to be cautious of dingoes.

It's the latest in a string of similar attacks on the island.

Last month, a boy was attacked and held underwater by a dingo.
