Going coastal

We're in the midst of planning a coastal wedding for October this year which has meant many a roadtrip down South with our faithful fur-babies in tow.
 
A few weekends ago we were off again with a full itinerary of appointments and a Jeep loaded up with two excited cattle dogs.
 
 
 
Our first stop was in Ulladulla, NSW at a lovely coffee shop called Boardwalk Cafe, from the outside it looked like a normal sidewalk cafe - nice but normal... However they also have a back entrance which opens up onto a courtyard that overlooks the water.. it is also dog friendly!!!! We had a lovely time, met the establishment dog who came over straight away to greet our two, and another beagle who was enjoying the morning sunshine! (We felt very special as we'd been told that he usually ignores the other dogs and let's them come to him!!) Belle tried to convince us she was human and jumped onto the bench, but she was quickly removed!
 
 
 
the resident dog... what looked like a blue heeler cross
After this the dogs went for a walk along Mollymook Beach whilst we were in our first meeting (with their paternal grandparents, not alone don't worry!!), then into the Jeep and onto Milton.
 
It was a brief stop at our cake makers home, where we met her border collie and our pups enjoyed the country surrounds of fresh air and serenity before our final pit stop in Lake Conjola. Here they met another friend, a chi/maltese/poodle who had a big personality and wanted to have a good play with the big dogs.
 
After all this the pups were ready to call it a day with just one more visit to the beach on the way home.. and this time a swim was not to be escaped!!!
 
On the Sunday morning we went for a long bush walk around Malua Bay, before one more quick frolic on the beach and then onwards to home.
 
The dogs were so exhausted but had had a lovely time meeting new friends and finding new dog friendly places along the way.
 
Don't let a pet stop you traveling - in our experience they love coming along!!
 
Forever love your dog,
Emma
