Duddawarra bridge
Dogs welcome
Duddawarra bridge is a grassy, shaded riverside spot at Little Hartley, a quiet rural stop with room to roam. Dogs are allowed off-leash here under effective control. It is a peaceful, natural place for a walk, though it is worth watching for snakes in the warmer months. A low-key off-leash spot in the country.

lbeautiful quiet spot hidden in the Kanimbla Valley. The small bridge crossing is great for fishing, relaxing, or letting your dog cool off in the water during autumn and winter. Surrounded by bushland and mountain views, it feels peaceful and untouched. Just be careful in spring and summer, as snakes are common near the creek and long grass.

Beautiful pit stop while travelling from Little Harley towards Oberon. No signs, shaded areas or picnic tables. You can just top here and admire the Cox river. Hardly anyone around and if you are game for fishing you could try your luck here.

Snakes -Snakes and more snakes. Browns and Blacks. Saw 2 browns and one black within 5 min or so once. Careful with kids and dogs.

Stopped here because of the good reviews. However there was rubbish thrown everywhere and a dead animal. Wouldn’t recommend to visit

Beautiful spot, which is accessible with any vehicle. Fun for kids and biggers as well. Although my fishing luck avoided last time, but i will not give up
