Description |
Information on the DoC site repeatedly informs you that dogs are not allowed on Queen Charlotte Track. But dig a little deeper and you will find that this is not entirely true. As some of the harder to find information states, dogs may be taken on the track between Anakiwa and Davies Bay - and don't be daunted, for the signage at the start of the walk makes it absolutely clear that dogs are allowed. It's only a short walk, but is well worth it, with an easy track through gorgeous beech forest and dappling fern trees, where bellbirds abound. At Days Bay, before you reach the campsite, where the restrictions begin, there's a grassy bank above a shallow beach where the dogs can paddle. Bliss! |
