We start at Port Melbourne with some essential dog socialising. This is an essential part where  all the dogs get to know each other so they are comfortable on Bella and at the venues.

Then we are off on a leisurely drive on Bella to Geelong and the Eastern Park. We stop for a wee break and some off leash time, then there is a choice of walks around this incredibly sniffing heaven with some fabulous views across Corio Bay.

A short journey to a fabulous restaurant for High Cheese (think everything imaginable about cheese - hot and cold) in a private courtyard followed by a doggo wee break.

Then it is on to Geelong Gaol for a private tour of all things Ghosts, Convicts and History with the dogs of course.
