About 11.45am, the wongari approached and circled seven adults at Eli Creek. One of the wongari lunged and mouthed a woman on the thigh. A member of the group threw a stick at the wongari and scared them off.
The wongari went down Eli Creek and about 11.50am approached a woman from behind. When the woman turned around and saw the wongari, she fell and was bitten on the thigh.
QPWS rangers provided assistance to the woman and offered medical treatment, which was declined.
The investigation into both incidents is ongoing.
Visitors and residents on K’gari are reminded to remain vigilant at all times, and children must be kept under constant supervision.
Anyone with information about these incidents and other negative interactions is encouraged to contact a QPWS ranger by calling 07 4127 9150 or emailing dingo.ranger@des.qld.gov.au.

Tuesday, August 8, 11.15am: Sunshine Coast’s Kristina Clonan recently collected a silver medal at the Track Cycling World Championships.
Clonan, the only women’s sprinter in the Australian team, clocked a personal best of 32.956 seconds at Glasgow but was pipped by 0.136sec by German superstar Emma Hinze.
“I’ve had a bit of a turbulent year, so this is really, really nice,” she said.
It was particularly satisfying for the 25-year-old, who reinvented her career, switching from endurance racing to sprinting when she missed out on Olympic selection for Tokyo.
“If I thought about this when I was an enduro, it would seem a bit surreal, so I feel like I’m pretty hard on myself for the expectations. But it’s so special to get a medal.”
