Dinky the singing dingo is a howling success
In central Australia, a singing, piano playing dingo is set to stump trivia lovers around the world.

The animal will be included in an anniversary edition of the board game Trivial Pursuit.

What is the name of the unusual singing piano player who attracts tourists to the Stuarts Well Roadhouse in the Northern Territory?

It can only be Dinky the Dingo.

His owner, Jim Cotterill, saved Dinky from culling as a pup two years ago and quickly discovered his musical talent.

"My two daughters play piano and whilst they were rehearsing he started to sing along and climbed up on the piano and started to walk along the keyboard," he said.

Mr Cotterill says Dinky has been attracting busloads of tourists to the roadhouse, south-west of Alice Springs, ever since.

And with his inclusion in the game, he is set to become a howling success across the world.

2. just to clarify

given the only images of Oz that make it O/S are rednecks, beer, Steve Irwin and cricket I'd like to point out that Central Australia is waaaaaaaaaaay outback....and my dog does a better Waltzing Matilda anyway

3. Was Skippy as big in Australia as it was here?

Is that possible?
