Hi, I'm in the Latrobe Valley too. You can't take dogs into any national park anywhere in Australia.

For dog walking places, there are some really good rail trails......one in Moe which starts at the botanical gardens and ends at the Yallourn W power station. And one that goes from Glengarry to Cowwarr. I live in Toongabbie, which is halfway between the two and the rail trail goes by our place about a half block away.

In Traralgon, the railway reserve in Hickox St is a lovely area to walk your dog. but keep it on lead as there's birdliife that can't be disturbed and snakes that you don't want to disturb.

Have a look here for off leash areas, on the right side of the page.

Also, the Gippsland Dog Obedience club has grounds in Toners Lane Morwell that you can take your dog to for a run, but it's not fenced so your dog needs good recall.

thanks we'll be joining the obedience club soon. our new pup luna has a fear of the unknown so we want to socialise her as much as possible
