Hi people,
Finally decided where were going in October,
Horrocks beach caravan park 80k's north of
Geraldton.
Though we can't find a dog sitter and don't like kennels, niether does the dog so we're stuck with him.
We have never been up around that area before and would love to see some of
Kalbarri and other parts within reach of a day trip.
Only problem is we don't know where we can take the dog and if possible who to contact to get this information.
Also are there any 1080 baits around that area.
Cheers

Hi rest needed,
I used to work for the Ag Dept/APB in that area, here's a bit of info to help.
Fishing;
Bowes River,
Horrocks jetty at night,
Port Gregory jetty and beach, most tracks through the dunes between
Horrocks and Pt
Gregory lead to fishing spots(drop tyre pressure). Mostly Tailer,mulloway,herring and whiting.
Sightseeing
Horrocks-Pt Greg-
Kalbarri;
Aboriginal
rock painting on track to Bowes R, Coastal gorges south of
Kalbarri, River Gorges and lookouts. All Gorges are in the Nat Park.
More upto date info from
Kalbarri Visitor centre.
Dogs are OK in
Kalbarri townsite,
Horrocks C/van Park and Pt
Gregory C/van Pk may require dogs to be on leash at all times.
Definitely NO dogs in Nat Park at any time. 1080 baiting is carried out as required to control feral animals both in Park and on adjacent farmlands.
The suggestion to kennel the dog(s) for a day is
well worth considering, much better than getting caught with dog by Park staff.
Great choice for a laid back holiday break, enjoy it.
