Dundubara’s fenced sites provide added safety against dingoes, but precautions are still necessary—secure food in dingo-proof containers, keep children within the fenced area, and bury scraps 50 cm deep. The Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation recommends staying within designated camping zones to avoid environmental damage and fines.
Use the provided facilities to minimize impact, and bring a portable toilet for waste management if needed. Fires are allowed in fire rings, but adhere to fire bans during dry periods, especially in summer. Pack insect repellent for sandflies, particularly at dusk, and a first aid kit for minor injuries, as medical services are limited on the island.
