Thanks Peter, John, John, David, Will & Max, and thanks for the link
John Campbell.
To address Peter's comment, yes I was surprised to be told in 1990
that mine was the only known solo dingo recording. Other recordings
known to groups or archives were of several dingoes howling together.
I guess there weren't too many people recording in those days (not
like today, with iPhones etc). And yes perhaps you heard the same
dingo in 1995 Peter. For my recording I was camped at the far end of
the gorge 'beyond the last palm', backpacking, on a 6 day walk through
the national park.
The recording clip is 6 minutes long, with just an extract on the NFSA
website.
