Destinations Between Sydney and Dinner Plain (via Hume Freeway)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Goulburn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Big Merino in Goulburn is one of Australia\u2019s iconic attractions and a fun stop! At over 15 metres tall, the Big Merino is not only iconic, it is also gigantic. There is also a wool gift store and an excellent bakery at the Big Merino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gundagai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
So you\u2019re travelling to the snow with your dog \u2026 How can you possibly pass by the statue of the Dog on the Tuckerbox? \u2026 And how can you not take a photograph? It\u2019s an important historical attraction and located close to the highway 8km south of Gundagai at Snake Gully. You don\u2019t actually turn off the highway at Gundagai, just continue until you see the signs for the Dog on the Tuckerbox!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cast bronze statue of the Dog on a Tuckerbox was commissioned as a tribute to pioneers, inspired by a bullock driver\u2019s poem called Bullocky Bill which tell about the loyalty and intelligence of his faithful dog. Petrol, bathrooms, and several food options are available near the monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holbrook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Formerly Germanton, Holbrook was renamed in 1915 after a Lt Holbrook, a decorated submarine commander. When the HMAS Otway submarine was decommissioned it was transported to Holbrook and is now located in a park where there is plenty of space for you and your dog to stretch your legs. If you have time (and a second adult to take care of the dogs, the Submarine museum situated next to the HMAS Otway is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are at Holbrook around meal or snack time, then the Holbrook bakery is a must! We\u2019ve been known to time our trip so that we arrive at Holbrook Bakery at lunchtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beechworth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Beechworth is a small and easy detour that takes you through some stunning scenery between Albury and Bright. And the town of Beechworth is well worth a stop – it’s is a gorgeous dog friendly town. It’s a well preserved historical town, so a stroll along the main street with your dog is going to give you a great sense of this town. There’s a number of dining options – we’ve enjoyed the bakery for breakfast and lunch and the Bridge Road Brewers for dinner (great little pizzeria and dogs are welcomed in the outdoor seating area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
