This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has Avoca Lagoon that the kids will love. This is flat and good for beginners.

There is a shower on the path in from the small carpark so you can wash your kids and dogs off, which is great.

Forresters Beach is dog friendly and is an off leash area.

Click on the map, it is powered by open street map and shows you where the dog area is. You can click on the navigator icon to show you where you are and check if you are in the dog friendly area.

A picture book

A picture book for little walkers

The Bush Wee is my read aloud picture book for children aged 2 to 7. A little explorer sets off on a big walk in the Central Coast bush, then realises there is no toilet for miles. Along the way it teaches real bush skills, like which soft leaves make good toilet paper.

We take on a small number of projects at a time, so you get Shea, not a junior. There is usually room to start something new.
