Being a long weekend this weekend and with an opurtunity to get rid of the kids, i planned a nice weekend for just for me the wife and one of the dogs and thought we would go to honeymoon pool.

Looked at our camping books and yes we can take dogs, then i loked at a new book and no dogs aloud. Check with CALM today and Honeymoon pool is now a national park, so no dogs.

Does any one know if there is any good campsites in that part that are outside the park but still near water?

I cant help at all.

I must ask a question though.

I don't own a dog but a mate I camped alot with has. It's a little fox terrior I think.

Why don't they let you take em into a National Park?

This little puppy is on a leash 24/7. It's a wimp. I can't see it hurting anything. Maybe a bark or two, that's it.

Do they not let you take em in just so they can't kill the natives or is there other reasons too?

perception- a foreign predator. Its easier to apply a blanket ban than to apply rules then enforce restrictions.

The concern is over attacking local native species, possibly already threatened ones which dont need any help in wiping themselves out. Short of this, Im yet to see or be informed of any other reason.

Also most national parks in WA have 1080 bating for ferral foxes and your dog will die if it chows down on one.

My daughters Staffy mutilates enough Blue Tounges (BT) in our back yard, let alone giving him a NP to protect from potential preditors!
The last BT that Rusty The Wonder Dog (RTWD) savaged endured a long and painful existance, (all the morphine had been allocated for Joh B-P unfortunately). As a result I threatened RTWD with strapping the carcass of the dead BT to hisbleepso that for the next week every time he licked his doodle he would also be licking the head of the dead BT Lizard, the threat fell on deaf ears however the positive action, at this point ( day two ) appears to be having some positive results.
Lets keep our pets if we must have them out of our national Parks, If we love our pets that much there are venues that accept and cater for, with some restrictions, pets!
Does anyone know of an outlet that will mind my mobile phone whilst I am holidays? Just a thought!
