Day-by-day itineraries with every piece sorted: stay, beach, cafe and park. The head-term trip, done for you.

Sydney to Byron with the dogs — 5 days

The coastal run north, broken into dog-friendly stays, beaches and brekkie stops.

Bayside beaches, cellar-door lawns and a base that takes big dogs.

Wineries that pour for you and water the dog, plus where to sleep it off.

Cool-climate walks, dog-allowed lookouts and a cabin with a flat patch by the door.

The drive done at dog pace — surf beaches, towns and the stretches to skip.

Green hinterland, a river swim and a quiet stay away from the crowds.

Cellar doors, lawns and a base near Healesville.

WA's south-west: surf, forest walks and dog-welcoming cellar doors.

Jervis Bay white sand south to the border, at an unhurried dog pace.

The big one: how to get a dog to FNQ and what's actually dog-friendly when you land.
