Why should they miss out on the fun? Bring your dog along on your adventure within Australia.
There is no need to leave your furry companion behind when travelling on your next holiday around Australia! With wide beaches and large stretches of land, Australia is a canine’s playground. Your dog is your ultimate travel companion! Australia is home to several dog-friendly attractions, letting you both enjoy the beach, rainforest, and park sights. Although most of Australia’s tourist destinations are very dog-friendly, some of the national parks may not accept canines. This could be because these places are home to some precious and protected native flora and fauna, that has to be protected!
Follow our list to see the best dog-friendly spots around for you and your canine friend.
Great Ocean Road, Victoria
243 kilometres of pure fun and sun, stretching out along Victoria’s lush coastline. Beaches are scattered along the road, featuring hidden wonders and some of the best surf spots around. Many of these beaches allow dogs to have fun without being stuck on a lead, including Whites Beach in Torquay, Anglesea, and North Lorne Beach. Along the Great Ocean Road is the Otway’s National Park, considered to feature some of Australia’s most beautiful rainforest scenery. Dogs are allowed along these national park’s trails, so you can walk together amidst the lush greenery.
