Pet Care Townsville
(Preview)
Would not normally do this but if your in the Townsville area and looking for a kennel / cattery then look up Beaches Pet Resort and Saunder Beach. So impressed that I wanted to stay and send the dog back to the Caravan Park . After 5 days she didn't want to come out. Absolutely A1 Five Star

Uluru and Gracie
(Preview)
Now I know Gracie is black however she would be most unwelcome at Ularu and I think Kings Canyon.... Anyone know of a convenient "Pet Motel" anywhere near there? Other wise I'd have to leave her at Alice and then return to collect her.....

Small Dogs Only
