G'day Kirk, I have bushwalked through the Alpine Nat Pk a lot, but I've never driven through there as a 4WD trip, only going through a couple of main routes by vehicle with a couple of food drops one time, and some other drop off / pick ups on other trips . . . why I'm really keen to get there for a proper drive, trying to work through things and join the Friday departure.
Mate dogs are family, aren't they ?
One of the reasons I might not make the Earth trip is our sons (who still lives with us) Golden Retriever is now over 13 and getting close to passing, wife and I are not sure we want to be that far away if his time comes, or leave him in the fairly warm weather while son / daughter can't be
home with work etc.
I also have a bushwalking mate of 22 years that is getting close to leaving us (to cancer).
I reckon they'd be very strict on dogs anywhere in the National Parks, other
reserves etc, not so sure.
We did an Earth day trip here in SA down the
Fleurieu Peninsula, ended up as planned at Deep Ck Conservation Park for lunch.
Unknown to organisers, one fellow had his dog in his 4WD, which didn't come out while in the park, a
Ranger came by, saw dog, and he was fined !
Some parks you can drive through without stopping and it's ok.
I would look at your map, see what the deal is with parks etc you want to go through, contact the relevant authority and ask personally.
I think state forests are ok with dogs, but they likely have rules such as on leads or under control etc.
