The dingo was arguably introduced to Australia by the Aborigines thousands of years ago. Beyond that, dogs would have landed with the First Fleet in 1788. Answer The dingo was most likely given to coastal Aboriginal people in the far north (Arnhem Land) by the Lapita people, who ranged widely across the Pacific and thoughout the island and coastal regions of SE Asia. The dingo is very similar to native dogs in Malaysia, Timor and elsewhere. From the north it spread through natural movement and with migrating Aboriginals until is range covered the whole of the mainland (displacing the thylacine, the Tasmanian Tiger, the major dog-like marsupial).
