the visit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She contacted me through my website about this documentary she was doing on dingoes,&#8221; Simon said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her family has been going to Fraser Island for over 10 years and are concerned why they are not seeing dingoes any more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Principal Dr Lyn Bishop invited Simon to bring along some dingoes along for a chat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a long day, leaving here at 4:00am to be there by 8:30am, then leaving by 5:30pm and getting home by 10:00pm,&#8221; Simon said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it was an awesome day for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honey and her daughter Zahra probably met more than 400 students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I spoke in their LINQ Precinct, it was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My video presentation looked very good on their massive screen and they have a great sound system.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their marketing manager Michelle Stoneman made sure we felt at home and guided us through the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon spoke to Prep to Year 4 students from the Junior College and the Year 7 Visual Arts class.<\/p>\n<p>The students had an opportunity to get up close to the dingoes and even pat them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was taken into their Interview room where Jade asked me 20 questions about the dingoes on the mainland and Fraser Island,&#8221; Simon said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Photos: Dan Poole
