Clarence
This beautiful river valley lies within the Northern Rivers between Coffs
Harbour and Ballina, approximately 600km north of Sydney and 300km south
of Brisbane. It is a wonderful area to travel with your pet and offers a wide
range of accommodation choices suitable for you and your family friend from
B&B’s, caravan parks, holiday houses and motels.
The coastline remains the largest stretch of undeveloped coastline on the east
coast of Australia and its natural beauty shines. The Clarence Valley covers
the coastal area from Iluka in the north to Halfway Creek and Glenreagh in
the south, spreading west to the Great Dividing Range. It encompasses the
coastal resorts of Yamba, Iluka and Wooli, the Scottish town of Maclean and
Grafton the Jacaranda City.
As a general rule, dogs are permitted in public areas in the Clarence Valley on
a lead and under effective control unless otherwise directed by local signage.
They are not allowed in any National Park, playground or food preparation
area. Please ensure that dog signage is read thoroughly as conditions will
indicate what terms apply to each area.
