Dogs, Rules, Water and Other Things You Need To Know

WATER: on site we have two types of water. Our rainwater is collected, triple filtered and then sterilised with uv light before arriving at your tap. So please don’t wash your vehicles with it!

We also have bore water which is also triple filtered and then sterilised which we use for the washing up taps, showers, bathrooms in the cabins. This is quite potable but is highly mineralised (in fact it is quite good for you with high levels of calcium and magnesium) but frankly taste quite strong. USE OUR WATER WISELY – it is a precious commodity. Please no long showers. So in the cabins if it has a hot water tap it is bore water, if no hot water then it is rain water.

FIRES: you are welcome to have a fire at your camp from 1 May to 1 November. You can either bring your own brazier to have a fire in but it must have a pan to collect ashes and coals (this is for health and safety reasons, and because we don’t want to damage the grass), or you can hire a brazier from us at $10 a day. We also sell wood and marshmallows for sale! Ashes are to be deposited in the rubbish only once they are COLD. You definitely CANNOT under any circumstances bring a chain saw and starting chopping limbs down, or breaking tree limbs off to add to your campfire. We will get very upset – the Lord of the Universe i.e. our manager will descend on you and make your life hell if you do that! You do need to get our permission to have a fire prior to starting it!!!

BEING CONSIDERATE – yes camping is special, it is fun, and yes you can drive people crazy by being really inconsiderate. Things like playing your music/radio really loudly from 5, 6, 7 or even 8 am in the morning is like to create camper rage! Please enjoy your entertainment quietly. No need to entertain the whole Village. Come night time we would like you all to be as quiet as mice after 10pm. This is for two reasons firstly, you will annoy the Lord of the Universe (the manager) who will come down and read you the riot act and secondly you will annoy other campers! If you are a first time offender you will be warned and if you are a recidivist offender you will be evicted.

LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOUR – young men in particular don’t know how loud their voices are! Or, how bad in some cases their language is. We will warn you first, but evict you second! Aggressive, criminal or behaviour that is in any way antisocial or threatening will be treated with zero tolerance. You will be evicted.

DOGS, CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS: Yes we are the most pet friendly village in Australia – but rules still apply. Here they are. If you have a hunting dog or banned breed – clearly your dog is not welcome here (or probably anywhere else). So no barking or aggressive dogs (the first is really really annoying and the Lord of the Universe will come and tell you off) and if you have an aggressive dog you will quite simply be asked to leave. Any dog that acts aggressively to other dogs, children or people is not welcome. You must have your dog on a lead at all times when in the park – Knock yourselves out. The beach in front of us is not pet friendly but the beach to the South of us (Patches Beach) is – and no you can’t walk there. You need to drive – my friendly staff will gladly show you the map and point the way. At GREAT EXPENSE we provide poooooo bags everywhere for you dog. Make sure you use them to pick up the poo. Otherwise the Lord of the Universe will descend on you. Occasionally you may see a brown and white red cattle dog cross running around the park who is not on a leash. He owns the park. His name is Victor. He is the only dog who doesn’t have to be on a lead. He hangs around the office and loves to play with the kids.

OTHER ANIMALS – yes cats are welcome provided they are kept in cages or within a cabin. Not outside cats please. Horses – we have lots of horse groups with us. Please liaise with Rikki about this. Zebras, lions, giraffes and rhinos are all by special arrangement.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – please take the time to read through our extensive terms and conditions (all 12 pages of them). They will cure all forms of insomnia and also outline just about every aspect of staying with us and breaking the rules.

IN CONCLUSION – 3% of the population cause 85% of the crime. That means that statistically you are more than likely to have a wonderful time with us and we will deal quietly with the 3% that cause the problems. Enjoy and if there is anything that our wonderful staff can help you with don’t hesitate to ask.
