We travelled for 6 months down the coast with a lab and a big bitzer with no problems. Most free parks are OK with dogs but only some caravan parks allow them. Most pastoralists do not bait close to roads or waterholes likely to be accessed by the publioc due to the obvious risks. This does not guarrantee a bait will not be present. Foxes can regurgate them as do eagles and crows will carry them and drop them someplace else.
Muzzles are recommended in risk areas as a bait can be taken even with a dog on a lead - gulped down in a flash and then its all over.
We stuck pretty close to the coast and did not muzzle and did not have a problem. Just be aware.
