DOG WALK CANCELLED DUE TO WET GROUNDS 
  • The decision to cancel the 2018 Waratah Dog Walk was in the interests of dogs and their humans – It would be very dangerous for both, and especially dogs, to be slipping and sliding on sodden grass and mud. Training displays and games therefore couldn’t happen either.

    As Christmas is getting closer and the walk organisers are not available in the new year period, there will not be a ‘postponed’ walk. The 2019 Waratah Dog Walk will be advertised widely and we look forward to really enjoying the day with you once again.
Walk with us with a Dog,
with a Toy Dog
or simply Walk Dog-less :-) 
(and wear something red or
with red in it :-)
ATTENTION: Follow Lyndy WALK COORDINATOR onto the internal road (near Gallery) NOT past the Vintage Machinery to start walk. LONG WALK turns LEFT and crosses the Highway at the Traffic Lights. SHORT WALK turns RIGHT at Highway - turns into Meryla and returns back down unmade road past the Swimming Pool and Bowling Club sites to enter back in via the Railway gates in Yarranga Street.
AND remember: the LONG WALK includes following the SHORT walk on returning i.e. goes down to Meryla and returns the unmade road.
