It wasn't long before our humans returned and we were off again to another destination and this time we knew this was a place for us. Once the humans had grabbed everything out of the car we headed over to Heytesburg Settlement Historical Park. It was a lovely place with lovely trees and a big dam and hundreds of new smells.
The first thing we did once we had arrived was have photos of our handsome selves taken which turned out very well.
Once photos were finished the fun began and we headed straight for the one thing any true labrador doggie would head for first; the water.
Milo and I had a great time going for a swim and fetching our stick. Once I got back to shore the most peculiar thing happened. I suffered from swimming induced craziness. One must love swimming and be very excited to suffer this condition. It's most commonly found in labradors. I suffered three separate attacks.
After all that swimming we decided to go for a walk around the dam as there was a nice little pathway. We waited to explore whilst Milo got his photo taken under a lovely gum tree.
The beginning of our walk. Isn't it lovely?
Once we broke through the trees we found an oval waiting for us so we took off to go and have a look to see what we could find.
The first thing we found was a big puddle which we enjoyed splashing in. After splashing through the puddle we continued on until we found a most interesting smell at the base of a tree.
Then we continued on, only stopping when we found the next interesting smell.
We had walked around the whole oval and after stopping for one last splash in the puddle we headed back towards the car.
We were almost back to the car when it was decided a family photo was in order so after sniffing out the perfect place the posing began.
Don't we look pawesome together? Well, after our family photo we arrived back at the car where we all jumped in and we soon fell straight to sleep. All this walking had made our humans hungry so they went to a near-by visitors info centre to get lunch and while there they saw some lovely native parrots.

Hi, Ros
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about this holiday. I'm interested in going to Johanna cottages, because I've heard it's really good.
I have two questions, actually. One is what you think it would be like in summer (snakes?).
Is it far to a beach?
Oh, also - what was the bone the dogs were eating?
Tiger snake....yuck! We're hoping they're still asleep for a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteLove the 12 (BOL) Apostles, but really love the area you were running FREE in.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
I am filled with envy over your water park adventure. I am personally deprived of what I would consider the minimum swim time for dogs such as us. Enjoy!
