Other things to note Please bear in mind this is a working beef cattle property. Please ensure you leave gates as you find them. We do have bulls and we can advise you of what paddocks to avoid. Children under 4 years of age are not recommended as the back yard is not child proof. All children will require supervision with horses, cattle, rivers, troughs, dams and waterways. While we love our Australian fauna, we do occasionally see black and brown snakes on our property. These snakes are venemous and contact should be avoided. Should snake bite occur, there is a first aid kit in the cottage and dial 000 for advice and an ambulance. There is limited mobile reception. Telstra is the only mobile coverage and you can usually get texts or call at the front of the cottage. There is good coverage at the building at Lostock dam. Air conditioning is in the enclosed veranda area only as well as overhead fans in most rooms. Please do not access the sheds due to a range of dangerous farm equipment.
