Other things to note Conditions of Booking – Keeping Carawirry Wild & Wonderful We keep things relaxed and easy at Carawirry, but there are a few simple house rules to help protect the land, wildlife, and experience for everyone. Smoking Outdoors 1. If you smoke, please do so outside, away from doorways and windows. 2. Butts in the bin, not on the ground—no one wants to find those lying around. 3. Fire safety is serious business—especially in dry months. A single ember can spark real trouble in the bush. Humans Only Carawirry is brimming with wildlife, and we’d love to keep it that way. Please don’t bring pets—even the well-behaved ones. Don’t worry, resident wallaby Skip will cure any furry friend withdrawals. Be Drain Aware The only thing that should go down the toilet is toilet paper (well, and the other obvious stuff). A blocked drain in the middle of the forest? Trust us—you don’t want that. It’s Cool to Be Kind Respect your fellow guests—Carawirry is a place to switch off and slow down. Keep noise to a minimum between 9 PM and 9 AM—nature’s soundtrack is already a cracker. Stick to your space—please don’t wander into other guests’ areas. Registration Details Exempt
