Great Dog Walks
-
I rarely venture outisde my local neighbourhood when walking Bear. But it's great when someone recommends a far-flung dog-friendly track to check out at the weekends.
Great Dog Walks, by Katie Whiffen, was created to provide information, ideas and inspiration to help you and your dog explore the great outdoors together.
Australia has one of the highest incidences of dog ownership in the world, we love sharing our lives with our pets, but it can be confusing to know whether you're allowed to walk the dog through bushland areas, where you can take your dog off-lead, or if you can take your dog to the beach.
The first resource we've provided is to ensure you can take your dog somewhere spectacular this weekend with Great Sydney Dog Walks - the dog-lover's guide to exploring Sydney.
If you and your dog are bored of walking the same old route, or you have ever asked the question "Where can I go walking with my dog in Sydney?" then this book will show you over 40 walks, all the council off-leash parks in the Sydney area, dog-friendly beachs and a variety of dog-friendly state parks and forests surrounding Sydney. So enjoy life with your dog!

In the ACT, you can find out whether an area allows dogs off-lead on this map:

It's a poorly designed service but the idea is good and it is still useful. The good news is that most suburban ovals and reserves are dog-friendly and many of them are off-lead.
I can recommend Mt Rogers (off lead) and The Pinnacle and Mt Painter (on lead) as great places to walk in the Belconnen area. -
