Dog exercise haunts

Drive in and all the way down to the second oval, past the caravan park - to find a dog friendly off leash haven, whenever sport isn't on anyway! (frequently).

Nature infusions and hikes

Get the google maps out for this one. Feel like a decent hike? About a 10k route return on dog friendly paths, without even seeing a road! The blowhole should be near completion with the restoration now (May 2020). If not, it's perfectly safe to just duck through the orange barriers.
