Way of the Dingo, The

AUSTRALIAN FAUNA & Flora –

“The Way of the Dingo by Sid Wright, first published in 1968 by Angus and Robertson, is a compact yet evocative exploration of the dingo’s place in Australian ecology, folklore, and national identity. Spanning 153 pages and illustrated by Wal Stackpool, the book blends natural history with cultural commentary, reflecting Wright?s deep fascination with this often-misunderstood animal. Wright does not just describe the ding, he champions its resilience, tracing its evolution, behaviour, and symbolic role in the Australian psyche. The tone is part field guide, part philosophical musing, with a touch of bush yarn thrown in. It is a product of its time, but still resonates for readers interested in the intersection of wildlife and national character.”
