Dog Friendly Places in Tasmania

25/01/2025

I have just put up Part 2 of our adventure around Brickendon Estate at Longford in the blog, covering the lovely Gardens and the 40m Suspension Bridge over the Macquarie River.

If youve been to either the Farm Village or the Gardens, walked the Convict Farm Walk drop a comment below and let me know what you thought.

Our adventure today was to cover the rest of Brickendon Estate. We did the Convict Walk to the Suspension Bridge and then wandered round the lovely Gardens. The gardens were a cool relief after doing the Convict Walk.

When we got to the Gardens a bus load of lovely Asian tourists pulled. Well as per usual George was a draw for them. Many took photos of him in front of the house and had their photos with him too. Honestly, if I charged a fiver for the number of times we’ve stopped with tourists wanting a photo with him I’d be a millionaire!

I’ll put more details in a blog post, but if you’ve the time, stop in and check out Brickendon Estate in Longford

Tip: Woolmers is definitely not dog friendly.

A new blog post has just be done. We checked out Brickendon Estate at Longford and throughly enjoyed ourselves wandering around. I’m hoping to go back soon and do the Gardens and Convict Walk to Woolmers.

Take a read and let me know what you think?

Anyone wondering where the little p*e/exercise yard is before boarding, this is the response from the Spirit of Tasmania. 🐶😊

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for reaching out.
The enclosed exercise area for pets at Geelong terminal is at the check in process and easy to locate once you are at the terminal. We are not able to provide a map as it is located at the terminal itself. This link will help show you the area, https://www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/sailing-fares/boarding-information -with-pet's. Just click on the “travelling with pets video” and this will show you the area.
Cheers Linda

Keep your dog on lead if you do not have a reliable recall.
Whether your dog is a little fluffy fur ball or larger bouncy dynamo you must have a good recall to earn the right to go off-lead.
Complaints like this mean we will lose access to places we can take our dogs.

DOGS UNDER EFFECTIVE CONTROL 🐶

Council has received an increase in complaints about dogs not being under effective control and owners allowing them to run up to other dogs and people on our beaches.
Our beaches are shared spaces, and they are to be enjoyed by everyone in our community.
We ask dog owners to be please respectful of others and remember these important points:
• Please read the signage at beach entrances, your dog may be required to be on a lead or even prohibited during certain days and times of the year.
• Not all dogs are friendly or enjoy being social - don't let your dog rush up to other animals.
• Not all people want to interact with dogs - don’t allow your dog to approach people without their consent.
• At all times dogs must be in sight and under effective control or on lead.
• And remember to Scoop your Dog’s P**p.
We appreciate your assistance with this matter

Gorgeous day so we headed out to Waddamana for an adventure. Last time I visited Waddamana in the Highlands was for school camp! It was clearly a memorable camp because I don’t recall the place at all! 😂

We stopped at Pine Lake Lagoon on the way for a walk along the boardwalk, and came across the first of the Tassie Gift riders.
Had a lovely coffee, cake (for George), pie for me and the friendly ladies from gave George a Puppacino with treat in the bottom, he loved that!

A walk around the ole block thinking some of the cottages were rather quaint, and a walk up to the hydro station. Unfortunately dogs are not permitted inside the museum but George was happy to snooze in the back of the car with the boot open.

Then we wound our back back with a stop at Penstock lagoon, a second Echidna sighting on the wall at the lagoon. Another Echidna crossing the road which kept a close eye on as it disappeared into the bush.

Then a further stop at the Great Lake which was very choppy for afternoon tea then the trek home.

A great day out exploring and just being with my boy enjoying Tassie in spring.
Anyone else out exploring today?

Some Goldens in the Golden colour..
Last week for the Tulips, take a look before they’re gone for the year.

A handful of puppy love right there🐾🐾🐾

We’ve had lots of furry friends on the farm this season, but this gathering of Golden Retrievers was extra special. Banjo reunited with breeder Grant, Mum Nova, Grandfather Loui and siblings Charlie, Barney and Willow for an orderly wander through the tulips yesterday. Can you pick which one is Banjo?
