Safety & Equipment
Because we want you to enjoy your experience and not be stressed by it, we don't take unnecessary risks. The suggestions below are designed with safety in mind.
Please don't attend to the fire or anything on it without being asked. Firewood, heat, embers and coals are dangerous. Accordingly, please don't wear open sandals or thongs around the fire.
Burns and scalds can be extremely painful and it's all too easy to 'forget' that the billy is hot when you grab it to pour yourself a cup of tea. That's why it is much better to get us to pour a cup for you.
We really do appreciate help in collecting firewood. When we arrive at our campsite, one of the first things guests can do (while we unpack) is to assist with firewood collection. However, this too can be hazardous, so be careful of spikes and branches, especially around your head. We suggest you wear gloves while collecting firewood.
When we load in the morning, we appreciate assistance with bringing gear to the vehicles and to possibly pass swags & bags up to the person loading the roof rack.
