‘Part investigative journalism, part nature writing, and also part personal memoir, the book develops into a profound meditation on the relationship between humans and dingoes, between tourism and the wild, and between science and culture.’

— Chris Lee, The Manning Community News

‘Combining natural history, Aboriginal culture, folklore, memoir, and environmental politics, this is an elegantly written and affectionate tribute to Australia’s most maligned and least understood native animal.’

— Jacqueline Kent, biographer and book editor

‘Rowena Lennox has shone fresh light on 30 years of controversy over the management of Fraser Island’s iconic dingoes.’

– Arthur Gorrie, ‘New light on dingo row’, Gympie Today

‘Dingo Bold could best be described as a memoir, but one that pushes boundaries – perhaps like the dingoes who challenge boundaries imposed on them by humans. Lennox effectively combines elements of personal and family memoir, biography, narrative journalism, historical nonfiction, travel writing and academic research to present a compelling and comprehensive account of the lives and deaths of dingoes on K’gari.’

– Simone Lyons ‘Matters of life and death’, TEXT, vol. 25, no. 2, pp. 47–51

‘Fuelled by empathy, curiosity and passion, and informed by research, data and observation, this moving and compelling book speaks to the heart and to the head. Rowena Lennox poses questions about our relationship with dingoes – and our role in the natural world – that are as bold and lively as her subject.’

– Debra Adelaide, novelist and academic

‘In Dingo Bold, Rowena Lennox wrestles with the emotionally laden subject of the human–wild divide through the lens of the policies managing the dingoes on K’gari (Fraser Island) … [S]he breathes life into the stories of the dingoes she meets and learns about, including the eponymous Bold … [A] thoroughly engaging and deeply personal book that examines dingo life and the humans charged with their survival.’
