Australians love their pets. With two in every five households owning a dog, we can see why. While our four-legged furry friends are increasingly becoming a part of a typical Aussie family, it is a different kettle of fish when planning for a vacation. Do you vacation with your pup or leave them at home or in a shelter? That is the question, and every pooch owning family has had to answer. You do not have to leave out any member of your family, including furry members, from vacation fun ever again. Here are 5 cool places to vacation with your pup in Australia. Goolawah Regional Park, Crescent Head. While most national parks across the country are not pet-friendly, for obvious reasons, you can still go camping and enjoy the great outdoors with your furry friends in some state and regional parks. Located on the NSW's North Coast, Goolawah regional park is undoubtedly a place for dog-friendly camping in NSW. The regional park has a campground that allows pets and access for mobility scooters and those with a disability. Check out the Delicate Campground, with stretches of beaches you can run or walk your dog leash-free. Aside from the lure of sheltered, leash-free beaches, there are several amenities available to make your stay memorable, including picnic tables, barbecue facilities where you can cook up tasty delights for the family. Callala Beach, Shoalhaven Does a languid, picturesque coastal town with sparkling creek water perfect for a day of quiet and fishing sound like your kind of dream vacation destination? Callala Beach, located on the south coast of New South Wales, certainly checks all the boxes. And not only that, you get to bring your pet too. You can run your dog leash-free on the beautiful beaches. But be sure to have your furry friend on a leash in areas like the car parks and paths leading to the beach. Great Otway National Park, Southern Victoria Australia has one of the most scenic stretches of coastal road in the world - the Great Ocean Road. Along this stretch of road are breathtaking rainforest and waterfalls, stunning beaches and diverse lakeside spots perfect for camping out. Bring your dog along for a walk through the Otway Forest Park an Otway National Park trail. Other dog-friendly areas include Johanna Beach camp and Cape Otway Light Station car park. Dog-friendly lodging, Sydney Believe it or not, it is a lot easier to find accommodations that allow pets as more hotels and vacation resorts allow holidaymakers to bring their furry friends along. Langham and Observatory Hotel, both located in Sydney, are two of the top places you can bring your dog with the assurance they will be taken care of. Keep in mind though that Observatory Hotel only allows guests with under 20kg pets inside their rooms. Pet-sitting and dog walking are available on request at Langham, so you can spend time with new friends or swim in the underground pool to your heart's content while your furry companion catches up with new-found buddies. Explore the vibrant sights of Tassie Tasmania is, without doubt, one of Australia's most beautiful states. Not only does it have one of the oldest cities in the country, but it also has an abundance of natural attractions that will make your vacation worthwhile. The capital city Hobart is full of historical architectures and buildings including the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Take the walking loop with your dog in the city centre to explore the Tasmanian heritage and cultural features. If you would rather enjoy your stay in Tasmania with nature, you may want to consider Thalia Haven, a luxury dog-friendly retreat sitting on a 160-acre peninsula surrounded by the refreshingly cool, crystal-blue Tasmania's Great Oyster Bay waters.
