A dingo’s speed, endurance, resilience and agility were the perfect inspiration for travelling light and efficiently while on the road.
Over time, this inspiration was to develop into the DINGOtex travel sheet, with qualities matched only by Australia’s supreme apex predator.
Facts about dingoes
Vs DINGOtex Travel Sheets:
Dingoes can run 60km/hour (that’s 37mph!) Our sheets are also super speedy, when it comes to drying that is. Our travel sheets can dry completely in as little as 15 mins on a sunny day.
Dingoes can travel 40km/day (that’s 25 miles!) DINGOtex sheets also have some serious endurance too – they are so color-fast, they’ll look exactly the same colour after 40 washes.
As a natural predator, dingoes lack body odour. Our eco-friendly, recycled nylon sheets are ultra breathable, so they’ll help to make you more comfortable and less sweaty during hot nights when showers might be scarce.
They are highly adaptable animals being able to survive in most habitats as long as water is available. Our sheets allow you to adapt to the climate. As well as being ideal in summer, they can add up to 5 degrees of warmth as a layer in winter.
Dingoes have flexible joints, and the ability to jump up to 2 meters, climb and dig very well, making them the ultimate escape artists. Our sheets exist to help you escape the mundane and embrace adventure!
Along our journey, we stumbled into the most amazing opportunity to live and volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. This is where we discovered our love for dingoes! During our six week stay, we had the privilege of helping to care for 3 abandoned dingo pups that were found in the outback.
We sure learnt some facts about dingoes through this experience!

their status in Oz
- Many threats exist for the conservation of the pure dingo (canis lupis dingo) in Australia. These include continuous baiting, trapping, organised culling, hunting, ‘wild dog’ fencing, and contact with the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris.
The dingo has been listed as ‘vulnerable’ by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN).

As well as the dingoes, we made a whole menagerie of new friends. Including sugar gliders, a frilled-neck lizard, long-tailed bush rats, some pythons, and a crocodile!
