"A dingo ate my baby!" is a cry popularly attributed to Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton as part of the death of Azaria Chamberlain case in 1980, at Uluru in the Northern Territory, Australia. The Chamberlain family had been camping near the rock when their daughter was taken from their tent by a dingo.
