Does anyone know how to track down a current version of this document? The link is no longer working.

The reason I ask is because I'm travelling home to my parents place via Mt Arapiles and hoping to take my dog. We're planning to camp overnight, do one climb early the next morning then be on our way. I'd obviously leave my dog tied to the car while we climb.

I'm thinking Centenary park could be the camping area just off the road to the north of the gums? I don't think it's the picnic area mentioned because the reference specifically mentions camping and there are no camping signs around that area.

I know that this will undoubtedly inflame the anti-dog lobby on this forum. But I'm not interested in people’s ethical opinions on domestic animals in "wilderness areas". I just want to know the rules. I'll deal with dalai, Wendy, etc, as amicably as possible if/when they confront me.
