There are four varieties of dingoes - Alpine (south west NSW and Victoria) Desert (Northern Territory, WA, SA etc, Tropical (Queensland) and the Fraser Island Dingo.
The Alpine Dingo is the most threatened. Man has taken over the area with towns and farmlands and the region has been subject to concerted attempts to wipe out dingoes in the region for over 200 years.
The Desert Dingo can still be seen in some areas of the outback but it would be subject to the was waged against them in particular areas.
Tropical dingoes are also rarely seen in the wild. I think of all the states Queensland and SA have treated the dingo the worst.
Although their numbers have been considerably reduced due to culling, Fraser Island, of course, is the only place to see that variety in the wild.
You may be interested in having a look at the website for the dingo association in your own state https://www.wadingo.com/ .
In replying to your other question I meant to include a website with a comprehensive dingo history http://taz8.com/index.html

In your books, you write about dingoes in captivity, and, perhaps that's not the word to use at all, because they certainly seem to enjoy human company. All we hear about Australia's native dog in the wild is that it's a killer (duh). Interested in some positive reports you might know of? Thanks!
