Majority of family day trips and exploring outside the bounds of your own neighbourhood usually means our beloved four-legged friends have to spend another weekend stuck at home. Finding pet friendly locations and activities close to Sydney can be few and far between, but not in the Dilly. When taking a day trip to Wollondilly your good boy (or girl) can jump in the car too!
Explore Historic Picton
The Historic Picton Walking Tour is a free self-guided tour around the highlights of Wollondilly’s largest town. Granted the weather is on your side, it’s the perfect way to step not only into history but the shoes of a local and experience the sights, sounds and smells of Picton.
The Historic Picton Walking Tour covers 30 different stops to visit at your leisure. These include the Old Picton Post Office, St Marks Church of England, National Australian Bank, Mushroom Tunnel, the Viaduct and many more. Best of all, this tour is totally outdoors and dog friendly!
