Fraser Island (1992)
Australia

• Australia 1993.  In its first set of World Heritage Stamps, Australia has issued this view from Fraser Island.  To the best of my knowledge it is the only stamp dedicated to this island. The island's exact location is just north of Brisbane (Queensland), on 25''15'S, 153''10'E. 
• Australia 1980. The Australian beast of prey, the Dingo. 

Australia's only beast of prey, the Dingo, lives on the Island. The Dingo living on Fraser Island us the most thoroughbred, because domestic animals, the dog included are forbidden on the island. For scientific reasons all male dingoes are earmarked in their left ear, whilst the females are earmarked in their right ear. The flock's dominant male will carry his tail upright, and the less dominant male members of the flock between their hind legs. It is forbidden for tourists to feed the dingoes, because with time they will turn aggressive and assault anyone who are near by. 

Horses were imported to the island for breeding purposes during the 19th century, in order to supply the British Troops in India, but some of these horses escaped from the stud farms, and reversed to wild horses. When Fraser Island in 1990 became a national park (under the name of Great Sandy National Park), it was at the same time decided to remove such animals that didn't belong naturally to the island, simply because the horses destroyed the vegetation. Today both domestic as well as pet animals are prohibited on the island, that has some 350 inhabitants.
