Oh my, there are so many amazing places to see in Australia. It’s made determining our itinerary so absolutely incredibly difficult.
What do we include? What do we leave off the list? How long do we need in a spot for all the best bits?
Developing our itinerary has caused me moments of major FOMO…. that we’ll get home and realise that we need to go again because we missed some of the best bits (ok that wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s probably pretty unrealistic to go beyond the 13-month plan we now have!).
Paws crossed that this is THE best itinerary for us and our dogs to see the best of dog-friendly travel in Australia. This is our Dog Tales of Australia itinerary….
